Abstract

The construction of Samarra and the movement of the Abbasid capital from Baghdad to this city in about the year 223 (lunar) caused that the demographic combination and its intellectual context discriminate this city from other cities of the Islamic world. Rule of Turkish originated militaries, formalization of people of narration trend and the existence of Banu Hashimi traditions are of the factors of the intellectual and cultural context of Samarra. Accordingly, this question is raised that what effects has Imam Hassan Askari's presence in this city had on his socio-political conduct? This research, based on the effect of time and place theory on the lifestyle, has investigated conduct of Imam Askari and has shown that the cultural and intellectual conditions of Samarra has led to the realization of his life beyond time and place. As shown in the beyond-the-time aspect, the Imam has behaved as his previous counterparts in affairs such as servitude conduct, while in the modern aspect, the Imam's conduct shows a change in the elements of time and place.
