Abstract:
The present research consists of two parts: the first part is dedicated to the historical course, duties, and powers of the Muhtasib and the qualification requirements for this position in the opinions and works of religious scholars and administrative officials of the Abbasid era; in the second part, the degree of alignment between appointments and the necessary characteristics and criteria for holding this religious institution is examined. Finally, it has reached the conclusion that this responsibility was mostly entrusted to learned individuals familiar with jurisprudential and legal issues and trustworthy and worthy officials; however, despite this, a number of rulers put the official positions, which should have provided security, peace, and relative welfare for the people, up for sale and assigned them to individuals who promised greater financial commitments.

oN,5 loV The Diwan of Hisbah and its Qualification Requirements in the Abbasid Era Gholamreza Montazeri PhD in Islamic History and Civilization, Assistant Professor at Islamic Azad University, Qaem Shahr Branch Abstract The present research consists of two parts; the first part is dedicated to the historical course, boundaries, and powers of the Muhtasib and the qualification requirements for this position in the views and works of religious scholars and administrative officials of the Abbasid era.
In jurisprudential terminology, Hisbah was a religious duty whose official, namely the Muhtasib, supervised market guilds within the framework of commanding good and forbidding evil.
2 Historically, the origin and source of this religious institution, which is rooted in the duty of commanding good and forbidding evil, must be sought in the era of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) and the early Caliphs, who personally undertook the inspection and supervision of markets and public morality.
" In general, Hisbah can be considered the most prominent official institution that had a direct relationship with the organizations of guilds, and its official (the Muhtasib), who is appointed by the government with extensive power and authority to attend to people's affairs and recognize their problems and interests, was entrusted with a religious, social, and economic mission.
