Abstract

Studying the representation of Shia authors in different centuries of Fatima Zahra's life can identify different aspects of her life. In this article, the intention was to analyze the way Muhammad bin Hussain Razi, one of the famous Shiite theologians and historians in the sixth and early seventh centuries of Hijri, read the life of Hazrat Zahra (pbuh). The question that arose from this issue was that Razi narrated and analyzed which aspects of Hazrat Fatima's life, especially her political career?
The choice of Razi is important because the features of biography about Imams (AS) in the 6th and the beginning of the 7th century of Hijra have not been comprehensively studied as it should be. So, the results of this research can increase our understanding of Shia heritage in these centuries.
The result of the research shows that Razi with an extraterrestrial attitude was content with mentioning miracles in the personal life of Hazrat Zahra (pbuh). But the earthly and material attitude prevailed in his description of the political life of Hazrat Fatima (a.s.). Razi's main problem in depicting the political life of Fatima Zahra (pbuh) was to remove the ambiguities and invalidate the arguments of the claimants of differences regarding Fadak through the use of theological, jurisprudential, hadith and especially historical methods
