|Native name=ابو مخنف}}'''Abu Mikhnaf''' was a Muslim historian active in [[Kufa]], near Baghdad and author of the lost work Kitab [[Maqtal al-Hussain]] (History of the [[Battle of Karbala]]). His grandfather was a companion of [[ʿAli ibn Abi Talib|Ali]] and this close connection to the prophet's companion and his family background made it possible for this author to gather great amounts of information of the "inner circle". Abu Mikhnaf's principal work, the Kitab Maqtal al-Hussain, has reached us through the work of his student, [[Hisham ibn al-Kalbi]] (d. 204 ah). His work was considered reliable among later Shi'a and Sunni historians like [[Tabari]]. | |||
