چکیده:
Karkh was an important stronghold of Shiism throughout the territory of the Abbasid Caliphate. At the beginning of the fourth century, the Shia Buyids took advantage of the weakness of Abbasid power and gained control over Baghdad. Their entry into Baghdad caused joy and hope among the Shiites of Karkh, especially since the Buyids held the Ashura and Ghadir Khum ceremonies for the first time. However, this trend did not last, and the Buyids were unable to support the Shiites. The Sunnis, who were dissatisfied with the holding of these ceremonies, repeatedly attacked the Karkh neighborhood with the help of Sunni Buyid administrators, Turkic soldiers, and ayyars, inflicting great damage upon it. This factor caused the Shiites to lose hope in the Buyids and welcome the Seljuks.
خلاصه ماشینی:
The Shiite-Sunni conflicts reached their peak in the year 352 AH; because in this year, a document was posted on the door of the Grand Mosque of Karkh, in which Muawiyah, the one who usurped Fadak, the one who prevented Imam Hasan علیهالسلام from being buried next to the grave of his grandfather, the one who exiled Abu Dharr, and the one who expelled Abbas from the Shura were cursed, and everyone considered this act to be the work of Mu'izz al-Dawla.
After the death of Mu'izz al-Dawla, the Shiites continued to hold the Ashura ceremonies and until the years 360 and 361 AH, they did not face any harassment; (21) but in the latter year, when the people had prepared themselves for Jihad against Rome, once their religious sentiments were sufficiently provoked, they provoked by fanatic Sunnis, attacked the Karkh neighborhood and set it on fire.
(23) The sensitivity of the Sunnis toward the holding of the Eid al-Ghadir and Ashura ceremonies caused the residents of the Karkh neighborhood to be prohibited from holding these ceremonies in the year 382 AH; (24) but this order had no effect; because in the year 393 AH, based on the order of the Buyid Sultan, both the Shiites were prohibited from performing the Ashura ceremony and the Sunnis were prohibited from holding the Mus'ab ibn al-Zubayr ceremony, which they used to hold in opposition to the Ashura ceremony.
