Abstract

The advocacy organization is the most important secret organization among the Shiites in the era of the presence of Imams (A.S). In time of restrictions of communication with Imams, this organization had representatives in the areas where Shiites lived. Medina as the center of presence of Imams (PBUT) has been one of the places of the presence of Shiites throughout the history.
Examining the narratives introducing people as the lawyers in Medina, this research aims to answer the main question on the extent of verifying the existence of this organization in Medina. Relying on the descriptive-analytical method and the data collected from the library sources, this research has investigated this hypothesis that Imams (A.S.) did not have any lawyer due to their previous presence in Medina, the small number of Shiites in this city and consequently no difficulty in making communication with them. Confirming this hypothesis, the findings of the research clarify that among the majority of the people introduced as the lawyers in Medina, some were not even lawyers, some were lawyers of another city, and some were present in Medina to perform a mission.

دراسة تاریخیة لوجود نظام الوکلاء (الوکالة) فی المدینة المنورة

Abstract [العربیة]

ر نظام الوکلاء، أهم تنظیم سری لدی الشیعة فی عهد الأئمة>. وکان لهذا التنظیم ممثلون فی المناطق التی یعیش فیها الشیعة، فی ظل القیود المفروضة على التواصل مع الأئمة. وکانت مدینة النبی9، باعتبارها مرکزاً لحضور الأئمة>، أحد أماکن تواجد الشیعة على مر التاریخ.

یهدف هذا البحث من خلال دراسة الروایات التی تقدم شخصیات کوکلاء فی المدینة، إلى الإجابة على هذا السؤال الرئیسی أنه إلى أی مدى یمکن إثبات وجود هذا النظام فی المدینة ؟ لقد تناول هذا البحث، مستخدما المنهج الوصفی - التحلیلی وجمع المعلومات بالطریقة المکتبیة، فرضیة عدم وجود وکیل للأئمة>بسبب خلفیة وجودهم فی المدینة المنورة، وقلة عدد الشیعة فیها ولأنه لم یکن من الصعب التواصل معهم8 فی هذه المدینة. وتظهر نتائج البحث، وهی تؤکد هذه الفرضیة، أن معظم الأشخاص الذین تم تقدیمهم کوکلاء فی المدینة المنورة، لم یکن البعض من ضمنهم على الإطلاق، وبعضهم کانوا ممثلین لمدینة أخرى، وآخرین موجودون فی المدینة المنورة لأداء المهمة.
