Zur Frage der Religionszugehörigkeit Firdausis siehe Djalal Khaleqi-Motlagh, in Encyclopaedia Iranica Artikel FERDOWSI, ABU'L-QĀSEM i. Life: "Ferdowsī was a Shiʿite Muslim, which is apparent from the Šāh-nāma itself (ed. Khaleghi, I, pp. 10–11) and confirmed by early accounts (Neẓāmī ʿArūżī, text, pp. 80, 83; Naṣīr-al-Dīn Qazvīnī, pp. 251–52). In recent times, however, some have cast doubt on his religion and his Shiʿism. […] Ferdowsī showed a prejudice in favor of his own sect and, as is apparent from the exordium to the Šāh-nāma, considered his own sect to be the only true Islamic one. […] In the cemetery the preacher of Ṭābarān prevented his being buried in the Muslim cemetery on the grounds that Ferdowsī was a Shiʿite, and so there was no choice but to bury the poet in his own orchard."
