As well as Abu Mikhnaf's Maqtal, other Arabic Maqatil on Husayn were written.[160] Most of these mix history with legend[87] and have elaborate details on Husayn's miraculous birth, which is stated to be on 10 Muharram, coinciding with his date of death.[161] The universe as well as humanity are described as having been created on the day of Ashura (10 Muharram).
