Detailed study and critical analysis of specific narratives, such as Imam Ali’s birth, the portrayal of Imam Ali standing on the Prophet’s shoulder, and narratives related to the Tebouk battle.
The dissertation comprises an introduction, preface, three comprehensive chapters, conclusion, appendices, and a list of references. Each segment delves into the intricacies of Al Ha’iri’s narratives, providing a detailed account of his approach, sources, and the specifics of the historical events he depicted.
The preface defines key concepts related to historical narratives, distinguishing between the narrative and the narrated, and explores the linguistic and terminological aspects of criticism and objectivity. The first chapter meticulously details Al Ha’iri’s life, era, and his published and unpublished writings, while the second chapter examines his methodology and sources in historical narratives. The third chapter focuses on dissecting specific narratives authored by Al Ha’iri.
