چکیده:
The book of Sulaym ibn Qays al-Hilali is one of the oldest surviving books from the early Islamic period. This book mainly addresses the events following the passing of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and the injustices inflicted upon the family of the Prophethood. Despite the importance of the issue of Mahdism and the contradictory reports present in this book regarding this subject, this issue is among the cases that have not yet received attention from researchers. Identifying the 'Promised Mahdi' in the book of Sulaym faces a serious challenge because there are several contradictions in the Mahdist narrations within the book of Sulaym. In this writing, it has been shown that in the book of Sulaym, only the Umayyads have a negative image, and none of the misguided Imams introduced in this book are from the Abbasids! According to the narrations of this book, the Promised Mahdi will take the government from the Umayyads and return it to its original owners. Overall, it seems that the author of this book—or parts of it—most likely lived during the final period of the Umayyad rule and, consequently, searched for the unjust Imams only among them and the first three caliphs, and expected the removal of this government by the Imam of the Time (AJ). Numerous criticisms have been leveled against the book of Sulaym that prevent the absolute acceptance of all its contents, and even attributing all the existing reports in the book to Sulaym ibn Qays or Aban ibn Abi Ayyash would face difficulties.

In the year 75 AH, with the entry of Hajjaj ibn Yusuf al-Thaqafi into Kufa and the killing and torture of many of the companions and Shiites of Amir al-Mu'minin Ali (a)?, Sulaym ibn Qays went into hiding and moved to the city of Nubandjan near Shiraz, and after becoming acquainted with Aban ibn Abi Ayyash and entrusting his book to him, he passed away in the year 76 AH.
d. : Vol. 1, 129; Vol. 9, 235-237) have accepted the evidence of his weakness, but many others such as Sayyid Muhsin Amin (Amin, 1406 AH: Vol. 2, 103), Safaei Khansari (Safaei, 1409 AH: Vol. 2, 30), Muhaddith Nuri (Nuri, 1417 AH: Vol. 7, 11), and Allamah Maqani (Maqani, 1426 AH: Vol. 3, 68), by citing the reliance of early scholars on Sulaym's book, the weakness of Ibn Ghada'iri's book, and the influence of Sunni weakenings on the weakening of Aban by Shiites, have ruled him to be reliable.
The possibility that these hadiths are not intended to describe all the Imams of Injustice, but only the caliphs of the Banu Umayya who the Messenger of Allah (saw) saw them on his pulpit in a dream (Ibid: 922) has also no evidence; therefore, only two other possibilities are worth examining: The first possibility is that the writing of the Book of Sulaym _ or parts of it _ took place at a time when the Banu Umayya rule was still in power, and the author of these narrations hoped that with the coming of the Imam of the Time (as) (a man from the house of Ali (as)), the Banu Umayya would be uprooted and suppressed.
