Intelligence and Counter-Intelligence Sirah of Imams (A. S.) (Sirah of Imams in Discovering the Conspiracies)

Most of the intelligence and counter-intelligence behaviors detectable from the history and Sirah of imams is related to the governing periods of Imam Ali (A. S.) and Imam Hassan (A. S.). Such behaviors have not been, unfortunately, recorded in a frank and clear way for the other imams. Our lack of knowledge about that may be due to the secrecy of their actions, but the accessed proofs and documents also don’t show that they have had special plan for penetrating in Khilafah (governing system) and or that they have been informed about the conspiracies of the enemy with having a disciplined organization. Through analysis of the narratives and reports that deal with these two topics in the lives of Imams, this paper tries to detect the Sirah of those religious frontiers in discovering the conspiracies.
