Narration (day) of the Assassination of the Second Caliph in Shīīte Sources: Documentary and Textual Evaluation of the 9th Rabī'ul Awwal Narration

In some Shīīte sources, a narration with differences in the final chain and names of the narrators has been depicted that the 9th of Rabī’ul awwal was the day of the assassination of the second caliph and the biggest feast and celebration and all  sins are forgiven in this day. In this article, this narration has been evaluated and criticized from the aspect of sources, documents and text. According to the findings, the sources and narrators of the documents of this narration are unknown, and in some of the sources of the document, there are differences in the names of the narrators and long interruptions, so the narration documents are weak and unreliable. The text of the narration also lacks eloquence and harmony and is contrary to Qur'an, Sunnah, historical facts, rationality, and consensus. Also, the attribution of that to God, the Prophet (PBUH) and the Ahl’ul Bayt (PBUH) is rejected. This is while the original sources by Shia and Sunni basically agree on the date of the 26th of Dh’ul hajjah for the assassination of the second Caliph.
