Editing Ibsar al-ayn fi ansar al-Husayn (section)

== The value and importance of the book ==
Ibsar al-ayn fi Ansar al-Husayn can be considered as one of the first specialized books in the field of Ashura studies, which had an important impact on the spread of this style of historiography of the Karbala movement. Agha Bozorg Tehrani praises “Ibsar al-ayn " and introduces its author as "Allameh Chireh Dast<ref>Samawi, p.25</ref>" (chireh dast means proficient in Persian) Wāʿiẓ Khiyābānī Tabrizi praised Ibsar al-ayn<ref>Esfandiari, p.119</ref> and describes Samawi as "a unique scientific and literary character who has many principles of virtue, a thinker with a special acumen and punctuality enjoying a great memory.<ref>Samawi, pp. 23-24</ref>" Of course, some of the manuscript sources used by Samawi have been criticized, and for this reason, some scholars have considered the validity of his book to be very low.<ref>Sayed Hassan Mousavi Bojnord</ref>
