Ways to Determine True News from Ibn Khaldun and Seyyed Ja'far Morteza Ᾱmeli's Point of View

One of the problems with the science of history is the disagreement between different accounts of the historical events. In order to distinguish the true story from the false ones, the historians have to have a critical and scientific look at the narratives. In order to recognize and analyze the reasons of the decline of Islam, Ibn Khaldun, the innovative historian who died in 808 AH., developed a new approach regarding the historical methodology; and by criticizing the historian of the narrative history, he introduced a new methodology in historiography and critiques of accurate news. The other historian discussed here is Seyyed Ja'far Morteza Ᾱmeli, born in 1364 in Eit al-Jabal village in Lebanon and died in 1441 AH., who discussed how to select the accurate news. The purpose of this paper is to compare the criteria for identifying the correct news from the false news from the point of view of Ibn Khaldun and Seyyed Ja'far Morteza Ᾱmali, which will be studied in a descriptive and analytical manner. Although Ibn Khaldun's historical methodology is explained in the introduction, he does not meet his standards in the general historiography of Islam in Al-Abar. However, Sayyid Ja'far Morteza has stated his methodology in the first volume of al-Sahih, and he remains committed to his standards.
