Given his position in Iranian-Islamic chronology, this article tries to find his historical insight in his chronology and to analyze its effect on his chronology method by recognizing the historical insight of the historian by studying some factors such as knowledge-based insight, religious law-based insight, elite-based insight, praise-based insight, monarchy-based insight and social insight.
In order to meet this goal, the most important question in this research is: what effect has the historical insight of Hafez Abru thought on his chronology method?
