Historical Sources
-
In the third and fourth centuries (AH) more general historical writing flourished and most historians preserved some account of the martyrdom of Imam al-Husayn AS.
The main works of this historical tradition are those of Khalifa b. Khayyat (d. 246 AH), alBaladhuri (d. 279), al-Dinawari (d. 282), al-Ya'qubi (d. 292), al-Tabari (d. 311), Ibn A'tham (d. 314), al-Mas'udi (d. 346), Abu al-Faraj al-Isfahani (d. 356), and al-Mufid (d. 413).

Al-Tabari however, who at the time of his death was nearly 300 years removed from the Prophet's death and nearly 250 years removed from the event of Karbala makes use of traditions that have reached him from other sources.
Al-Tabari's collossal work entitled 'Tarikh al-Rusul wa al-Muluk' (History of the Prophets and Kings) remains a source of history covering the period up till the early 10th century. The English translation of this work spans 40 volumes including the index and is a major source of study for historians and academics.
The earliest source is the Arab traditionalist by the name of Abu Mikhnaf who died in 774 CE who was writing at approximately the same time as Ibn Ishaq. Al-Tabari however is indeed the earliest source which makes use of Abu Mikhnaf's source comprehensively.

یال کیجیے کہ غالبؔ جیسا شاعر جس فرد کی عظمت کا قائل ہو،اُس کا شاعری کی دُنیا میں کیا درجہ ہوگا۔غالبؔ نے سرتاج الشّعراء اور اُردو غزل کے میرِ کارواں، میر تقی میرؔ کے لیے جو کہا ہے، محض اُس کی تکرار کر لیتے ہیں۔؎ریختہ کے تمہی استاد نہیں ہو غالبؔ…کہتے ہیں اگلے زمانے میں کوئی میرؔ بھی تھا…غالبؔ اپنا یہ عقیدہ ہے بقولِ ناسخؔ…آپ بے بہرہ ہے جو معتقدِ میرؔ نہیں…میرؔ کے شعر کا احوال کہوں کیا غالبؔ…جس کا دیوان کم از گلشنِ کشمیر نہیں۔سو، اب بات میرؔ کی یعنی اُردو شاعری کے میرِ کارواں کی آ گئی ہے۔
