Abstract

After Uthman's assassination and the allegiance of the people to Imam Ali, Talha and Zubayr broke their allegiance to Imam and initiated the Battle of Jamal claiming for the killed Caliph's bloodlust. In this battle, for the first time two groups of Muslims lined up in front of each other, and the third group of Muslims called Qaedin emerged. Believing in the sedition of battle between two Muslim groups and not being able to tell which side is true, the Qaedin developed political disapproval and apparently did not separate from either of these two groups and did not enter into a conflict with either of them. The main question of the research is how the political views of Qaedin have affected the rule of Imam Ali (AS). Having analyzed historical background, this study proved that the rulers of the current movement were active and had a political-ideological and aggressive ideology inwardly tending to Ottoman. Likewise Mo'tazeli's positions incurred irreparable damage on the foundations of Imam's government.
