Knowledge About The Influence Of Shiite Imams In Medina (In The First Half Of The 8th Century A.H.)

Madinah was place to Sadat by the end of the second century and, officially, from the fourth century, who were known as "Shurafa". This group of Sadat often had Shiite tendencies, but because of the Abbasid's domination, they sometimes turned to Taqiyyah, and sometimes chose Sunni religion, but because of family affiliations, they had Shiite tendencies. In the era of the Fatimid rule, they clearly had a Shiite religion. With the fall of the Fatimids and the rise of Ayyubid dynasty and then Mamaalik, pressure increased on the aristocrats. At this time, the city had two groups called "Muqim" and "Mujawir"; Mujawiris had come from outside and were often Sunnis, but Muqims were Shiite and supported the aristocrats and noble class. The controversy continued between the two groups. In the first half of the th century A.H., there was the same dispute that the book, "Nasihah al-Mushawir Wa Taziyah al-Mujawir", is a complete representation of the conflict between the aforementioned groups. ‡›™‘”†•
