الحقيقة وراء خروج الحسين بن علي (رضي الله عنه)‎ و موقف الصحابة (رضي الله عنهم)‎ منه

Abstract EN

The departure of Al-Hussein from Macca to Iraq is one of the problematic issues for historians because of the contradicting narratives with different interpretations.

The current study attempts to throw light on the real reasons which led Al-Hussein to move out to Iraq and the reaction of the Prophet's companions by investigating the narratives that tackle the issue of AlHussein's departure to Iraq and picking out the authentic ones.

The study concluded that the real reason for his departure was an ijtihad or an independent reasoning done during unusual circumstances.

This action met an clear opposition from the prophet's companions who could predict his killing.
