چکیده:
The three wars that Imam Ali (peace be upon him) was embroiled in during his short period of rule were, following the Ridda crisis, considered the most significant internal upheavals of the Islamic society, which imposed heavy consequences on the Alid system. Examining these wars is important insofar as they acted as the primary factor in the economic insecurity of this period. The main question that this article attempts to explain is: To what extent did the internal wars affect the economic structure of the government of Imam Ali (peace be upon him)? The findings of this research, which is based on a descriptive-analytical method, show that the looting of public property by ousted Umayyad officials, the depletion of financial resources available to the government for war expenses and social security, the destruction of infrastructure, and the elimination of a large portion of the Bayt al-Mal's revenue sources due to chaos and rebellion, were consequences that caused irreparable damage to the economy of the government of Imam Ali (peace be upon him).

The findings of this research, which is based on a descriptive-analytical method, show that the looting of public property by deposed Umayyad officials, the depletion of financial resources available to the government for war expenses and social security, the destruction of infrastructure, and the elimination of a large portion of the Bayt al-Mal's income sources due to chaos and rebellion, were consequences that inflicted irreparable damage on the economy of Imam 7's government.
Abdullah Mukhabira has narrated from the Imam 7 regarding the economic situation of the people of Kufa as follows: مَا أَصْبَحَ بِالْكُوفَةِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا نَاعِماً إِنَّ أَدْنَاهُمْ مَنْزِلَةً لَيَأْكُلُ الْبُرَّ وَ يَجْلِسُ فِي الظِّلِّ وَ يَشْرَبُ مِنْ مَاءِ الْفُرَاتِ؛ (Ibn Abi Shaybah, 1409, Vol. 7, p.
Apparently, these items were provided from the cities and villages along the route of movement through the expenses of the Bayt al-Mal. The letter of the Imam 7 to the commander of the Siffin army, which Nasr ibn Muzahim narrates, reinforces this possibility: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ مِنْ عَبْدِاللَّهِ عَلِيٍّ أَمِيرِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ إِلَى أَهْلِ الذِّمَّةِ مِنْ مَعَرَّةِ الْجَيْشِ إِلَّا مِنْ جَوْعَةٍ إِلَى شِبَعَةٍ وَ مِنْ فَقْرٍ إِلَى غِنًى أَوْ عَمًى إِلَى هُدًى...
2. Looting of the Basra Bayt al-Mal and damage to the government's financial resources Coinciding with the caliphate of Imam Ali 7, the eastern regions of the caliphate were guided and supervised from two main centers: Kufa had centrality over the western provinces of Iran and Iraq, while Basra managed and controlled the regions of Fars, Khuzestan, Kerman, Sistan, Bahrain, and Khorasan.
