Abstract

Forging and distorting or applying traditions to the claimants of Mahdism, with the aim of abusing its enormous political and social capacity, is one of the disadntages of saviorist traditions. These actions had started since the first century of Hijrah, especially after the martyrdom of Imam Hossein (A. S),  parallel with the uprisings of supporters of Ahl al-Bayt (A. S) and some other groups. Examining the historical sources of that period and the existence of some common concepts in the historical narrations of Zubair's uprising and the saviorist traditions of Sunnits, strengthens the possibility that Zubair's movement is also among the same opportunists due to the following reasons: not accompanying of Bani Hashem with Ibn e- Zubair, circulating the news about Muhammad ibn e- Hanafiyah by Mukhtar al- Thaqafi as Ibn e- Zubair's long-time rival, and Ibn e- Zubair's self-proclaimed caliphate's need for legitimacy and consequently the need for the public support to confront the army of Al- Sham. This article examines this issue through the method of historical analysis.

دراسة للمفاهیم المشترکة للتقاریر التاریخیة الوادرة حـول حرکة عبد الله بن الزبیر وروایات السنّة حول المنجی الموعود

Abstract [العربیة]

یعتبر ابتداع و تحریف أو تطبیق الروایات لمدعی المهدویة بهدف استغلال القدرة السیاسیة و الاجتماعیة الضخمة لهذا الأمر، هو أحد الأضرار التی تلحق بروایات المنجی الموعود. و قد بدأت هذه الأمور فی بدایة القرن الأول الهجری، و خاصة بعد استشهاد الإمام الحسین، و ذلک بالتوازی مع ثورات محبی أهل‌البیت المطالبة بالثأر، بالإضافة إلى مجموعات الأخرى.







إنّ دراسة المصادر التاریخیة لتلک الفترة الزمنیة و وجود بعض المفاهیم المشترکة فی النقل التاریخی المتعلق بثورة ابن الزبیر، و روایات أهل السنة حول المنجی، یعزّز احتمالیة أن تکون حرکة الزبیر مدرجة أیضاً فی عداد الحرکات الانتهازیة، و ذلک وفقاً للأدلة التالیة: عدم مواکبة بنی هاشم لابن الزبیر ، انتشار الأخبار التی تفید بإطلاق لقب المهدی من قبل المختار الثقفی على محمد بن الحنفیة المنافس القدیم لابن الزبیر، احتیاج خلافة ابن الزبیر إلى الشرعیة، وبالنتیجة، الحاجة إلى الدعم العام لمواجهة جیش الشام.
