Al Buye and Hamdanian relations

During the rein of Moaz o Dolla in Iraq which lasted from 334 to 356, for sure one of his worries concerning foreign policy was suppressing the Hamdany’s government. The reason was that The Hamdanys always were a threat for his government as a separatist and dangerous power. As a result, their relations were usually accompanied by hostility and enmity. Moaz o Dolla’s military moves to the Hamdanys’ territory centered in Musel in 334, 337, 347, 353 AH can be a proof for this. All this was despite their claims to be Shiite, following the same value systems. Studying the relations of the two, the researcher will find that political ambitions are favored over religion and religion as a constructive element could not creat strong ties. Since one of important section of the relations between Al Buye and Hamdanys was during the rein of Moaz o Dolla, the present study investigates the main causes and consequences of their relations.
