چکیده:
By reflecting on the myths and pivotal moments in Iranian history, it becomes apparent that in the establishment of the power structure and the Legitimacy of the kings, consideration for the people and a commitment to justice for the welfare played a significant role, and the divine Farrah confirmed the principles of royal Farrah. As long as the king was on the side of the people and focused on their needs, he possessed the required nobility and authority. In this perspective, the establishment of the royal institution was the outcome of public action and consensus, and the power system had a traditional nature and a sacred significance. The support of the residents of Iranshahr for the fair and wise king contributed to the reduction of his power, while the tyranny and animosity of the people also played a significant role in his decline. Based on this premise, the present article takes a descriptive-analytical approach to examine the public Legitimacy of the government and the function of the royal institution in Iran. It reflects on this issue from the perspective of the historian Abū Ḥanīfa Dīnawarī. According to the Iranian historiography of Abū Ḥanīfa Dīnawarī, it appears that the historian, as one of the early Islamic historiographers, documented the events related to the interaction between society and the government, emphasizing the importance of rulers paying attention to the needs of the people. He explains the harmony of society and the government in a mythological manner, highlighting the position of the people and the secular-sacred aspect of the government.

Among these historians, some who had more discernment and paid more attention to the popular position of government based on their political and cultural affiliations, appeared more efficient in presenting examples; among these historians is Abu Hanifa, the author of Akhbar al-Tawal, who acted prominently in describing the history of Islam and Iran based on historical conditions and by basing concepts (Iran) and (Iranian), considered the share of Iranians in the process of forming and continuing government important in mythical and historical interpretations.
Based on this, the present article, with a brief examination of the position of government and its popular foundation in Iran in two dimensions, mythical and historical, and a review of Dinawari's time and life, first refers to Iranian concepts in Dinawari's view and then examines some of his reports about the relationship between society and government and the place of the people in governing Iran before Islam (the era of the Sasanian Empire).
In this regard, the present article seeks to answer these questions by referring to Iranian concepts in Dinawari's historiography and pointing to some of its components in two realms, mythical and historical: What position did the (people) of Iran have in the relationship between society and government in Dinawari's reading of pre-Islamic history, especially the issue of the legitimacy of the power of kings?
