One of those is Imam Abu Hanifa. His life was overflooded with numerous political events including the transfer of power from Umavids to Abasids as well as Alavid’s uprisings. Abu Hanifa never concurred to accept any state-position due to his critical perspectives and the state’s corruption. This paper, through a descriptive-analytical approach, discovers the impact of Abu Hanifa tendency to Morjeya-Jabareya sect and to Prophet’s descendants on his interaction with Alavids’ uprising. It considers the principles of Abu Hanifa’s political veiw and his interaction with Alavid’s uprisings. The findings of this study illustrate a fact that Abu Hanifa’s support to Alavid’s is not merely due to his stance in favor of Shias. For, he supported of non-Shiite uprisings as well. Rather it was due to his sympathy to holy prophets’ descendants, and to Morjeya-Jabareya sect which is a branch of Morjeya sect apposing against the state system, and being growing in a Shiite atmosphere of Kufa.
