The Umayyad Functionaries in the Abbasid Caliphal System

The Abbasid rulership which was the result of a revolutionary and idealistic movement, adopted a rough method against Umayyad survivors in the first stage of its establishment. It was no longer that the Abbasid Caliphs’ perception was changed and some Umayyad functionaries were summoned for the military, bureaucratic and judicial services. The metamorphosis of the Abbasid behavior, is a main question which the current study tries to explain it-under a descriptive and analytic method- and show that the Abbasid caliphate – after the course of the unstable chair of politics which, some Umayyad survivors were demolished - adopted an extensive policy in order to collect the Umayyad agents from the northern and southern Arab tribes under their extensive umbrella. This policy wanted to prevent the regeneration of ancient competition between them by recalling the Umayyad functionaries for the military, bureaucratic and judicial services.
