The historical course of the approach of Imami scholars to the sufferings of Hazrat Zahra (peace be upon her) until the end of the Safavid period

The sufferings of Hazrat Zahra (as) and the afflictions that befell her are part of the history of Shiite beliefs. Imami scholars have written many works in this regard, and have somehow referred to these oppressions. The study of these works indicates that the Imami scholars have not faced this issue in a single way. This multiplicity in the way of dealing with the issue of the sufferings and martyrdom of Hazrat Zahra (peace be upon him) has caused ambiguities and differences in this issue. The shortcomings and ambiguities in this regard, in addition to some issues such as the need to maintain unity between Shiites and Sunnis, have also led to other ambiguities in the issue. Therefore, it is necessary to re-read the existing texts in the works of Imami scholars, and the truth of the matter should be clarified beyond it, exactly what sufferings must have befallen Hazrat Zahra (peace be upon her) and there is no ambiguity in it. That is, what are the facts and courts in this regard?

In the present study, the main effort has been to answer the question “What has been the historical course of the approach of Imami scholars of the first to twelfth centuries about the sufferings of Hazrat Zahra?” Complete the above.

The present research is based on an applied method and a library that seeks to “describe” the contents of Imami books about the sufferings of Hazrat Zahra and twelve basic results have been obtained. One of the most important results is that “attacking the house”, “burning the house”, “beating”, “abortion” and “usurpation of Fadak” are definite examples of the sufferings of Hazrat Zahra and there is no room for doubt and these are the things that ultimately provided the cause of her martyrdom.
