چکیده:
The necessity of the unity of the Islamic Ummah is not hidden from anyone. In addition to the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his family), the words and ways of the infallible leaders (peace be upon them) have echoed the soul-giving and freshness-creating call of 'unity'. In this article, given the necessity and objective of the subject, the concept of unity is addressed, and the interaction of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) with the Caliphs towards Islamic unity is discussed, emphasizing his role as the guardian and protector of unity. Topics such as political consultation, economic and military consultation, scientific and judicial cooperation, and providing necessary guidance in administrative affairs are counted among the instances of interaction between Imam Ali (peace be upon him) and the first Caliph. During the era of the second Caliph, in addition to the military cooperation and consultation of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) in the Battle of al-Jisr, the war with the Romans, and the Battle of Jerusalem, etc., the followers of the Imam also cooperated with the Caliph in wars and governmental matters. This cooperation continued during the time of the third Caliph; however, due to the specific issues of this era, the Imam took on the role of mediation and arbitration against those dissatisfied with the Caliph, and during the siege of the Caliph's house, he sent water skins through his sons Hasan and Husayn (peace be upon them) to the Caliph. These behaviors tell of the high spirit of unity and integrity that the Islamic Ummah always (especially in the present era) is in dire need of. The performance of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) has been entirely dedicated to the interests of Islam and the stability of the unity of the Islamic Ummah.

The Imam not only prevented the people from disagreement during the passing of the Prophet صلیاللهعلیهوآله, but also in the Shura (Council) of six members, he also gave his allegiance, as he did not consider Abd al-Rahman's allegiance to Uthman to be anything more than a trick; thus, he practically prevented the people's disagreement and addressed the members of the council, saying: Although leadership is my right, and taking it from me is considered an injustice against me, as long as the affairs of the Muslims are in order and only I am treated unjustly, I will not oppose it (Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 74; Muhammad ibn Jarir ibn Yazid, Vol. 4, p.
The Imam was disturbed by this irrelevant question; because a group of his soldiers believed in the Caliphs, and raising such issues at that time would cause division among their ranks; in this regard, after expressing his discomfort, Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said: Out of respect for the bond you have with the Prophet صلیاللهعلیهوآله and because every Muslim has the right to ask, I will answer you briefly.
During his caliphate, Umar consulted with the companions, including Imam Ali (peace be upon him), on this matter and finally accepted the view of the Imam, who said: Take from the Bait al-Mal only such an amount as is necessary to provide for yourself and your family (Ibn Abi al-Hadid, Vol. 12, p.
