One of the important points in historiography is the issue of belief or disbelief of the historian in Astrology. Abu Ḥanifa Dinawari is one of the Iranian Muslim historians and astronomers of the third century AH and the author of the valuable book ‘Al-Akhbar al-Tiwal’. This research seeks to find the answer to the question of what is the manifestation of Abu Hanifa Dinawari’s belief in the rules of astronomy and in what fields can its manifestation be seen in his historiography? Based on the findings of this study, it seems that Dinawari’s view on the predictions of astronomers has fluctuations and in general, few cases of predictions have been mentioned in historical events. In the same few cases of his work, which dealt with the prophecies of great men and astronomers and considered it important, he did not ignore the prophecies of the common people and sometimes mentioned these reports in his book. It is also believed that if in some cases, the predictions of astronomers have not been made, the misinterpretation of their words is the main reason for the failure of these predictions. As an astronomer, Dinawari wrote important astronomical works, that this has been effective in his commitment to Astrology. The issues raised in the rules of astronomy are explained in more detail in the book ‘Al-Akhbar al-Tiwal’ than similar events.

The beginning of the Umayyad dynasty caliphate and changing of the caliphate into monarchy is one of the most sensitive periods affecting political thought after Islam. In those days, Shiite Imams tried to preserve and revive Islamic thought against the Umayyad deviations according to their divine duty. One of the deviations that reached its peak during the time of Imam Sajjad (As) was the distortion of prophecy and leadership, and Imam Sajjad (As) resisted against the intellectual-political deviations of the Umayyad society in a special way. In this article, the activity of Imam Sajjad (As) is considered based on Al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya. Among them, by content analysis, the issue of prophecy has been considered as one of the political-doctrinal dimensions in Al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya to indicate his strategy to preserve the concept and status of prophecy. Imam Sajjad (As) by considering the political and social situations of his time, expressed religious beliefs and principles of religion, especially prophecy and revelation and its connection with the Imamate through prayer.
