Abstract
Muslim historical works give contradictory accounts of the execution of Ḥujr. Using a source-critical approach, this paper will show that the narrators of Ḥujr’s execution shaped this story to support their religio-socio-political point of view. Uncovering these different versions will shed light on Islamic historiography. Being aware of the different versions of Ḥujr’s execution allows the reader to distinguish between what really happened from why these narrators feel it happened. This exercise can be useful for other historical incidents or personalities which are extant in our sources.
