Abstract
The issue of succession of the Prophet (pbuh) has been and is one of the most important controversies among Shiite and Sunni. This issue has also been reflected in some of the writings of the Iranian Shiite historians in the first Pahlavi’s era. Emphasizing on the legitimacy of Ali (AS) in the Shiite works, it seems that there had been a kind of convergence with the Sunnis in this matter. The question therefore is what was the reason for the mentioned convergence at the time of Reza Shah Pahlavi? Using descriptive analytical approach this study investigates on both religious atmospheres at Reza Shah’s time and the writings of Shiite historians on the above subject. The study reveals that Reza Shah’s anti-religion policy and also the growing wave of dissent that emerged at that time, was one of the most important factors of convergence with the Sunni historians in the issue of succession of the Prophet (pbuh).

Abstract
After the caliphate of Imam Ali (AS), Muʿāwiya, by utilizing political tools and exploiting existing disagreements, sought to incite the people of Sham (Syria) against Imam Ali (AS) under the pretext of the murder of ʿUthmān. Shuraḥbīl ibn Simṭ al-Kindi, the governor of Ḥimṣ, played a significant role in instigating the people. The main research question is: What are the factors that influenced Shuraḥbīl to join the ranks of Imam Ali's (AS) opponents, and what was his role in the events in Sham (Syria)? This research, using primary historical sources and a descriptive-analytical method, shows that Muʿāwiya convinced Shuraḥbīl to join the opposition against Imam Ali (AS) by exploiting personal conflicts between Shuraḥbīl and Jarir ibn Abdullah Bajali, the ambassador of Imam Ali (AS) in Sham, as well as through false testimony implicating Imam Ali (AS) in ʿUthmān's murder. Shuraḥbīl played a decisive role in the revolt of the people of Sham (Syria) against Imam Ali (AS) by promoting the belief that Imam Ali (AS) was the main culprit behind ʿUthmān's murder. The findings of the article also indicate that political and propaganda tools significantly influence the shaping of historical events.
