Abstract
Ashura incident can be discussed in various aspects. One of these aspects is the war cries (rajazes) recited by Imam Hussein’s (as) companions on the battlefield. that the supporters of Imam Hussein (AS) during the battle spoke. War cry is a poem recited on the battlefield to show off one’s abilities and humiliate the enemy. The question under discussion in this study is what are the themes of resistance and stability in the war cries recited by Imam Hussein’s (as) supporters on the day of Ashura? Investigations show that the components of resistance and stability, such as patience and endurance, courage, fulfillment of obligations, accepting guardianship (Wilayat), and honor to lineage has been reflected in the war cries of the loyal companions of Imam Hussein (as) on the day of Ashura, such as Amr ibn Khalid al-Azadi, Jinadat ibn Hares ansari, Nafi’ bin Hilal, Qasim ibn al-Hassan (AS), Ali ibn al-Hussein (as), Abbas ibn al-Ali (as), etc.
Considering that the uprising of Imam Hussein (as) and his faithful companions is considered to be the most important uprising against the oppressive government over the course of history, addressing the various dimensions of this uprising and, in particular, identifying the themes of stability and resistance in the heart of this uprising, seems essential. This study tries to draw the theme of resistance and stability from the epopees and war cries of Imam Hussein’s (as) companions on the day of Ashura by adopting a descriptive-analytical method.
