Abstract

Sufyan Al-Thawri is one of the brilliant figures in Islamic history, as he is far more famous than being referred to in the fields of hadith, jurisprudence and asceticism, broad-based and very daring, so we worked here to highlight one aspect of his personality, which is the nature of his relationship with the political power of the state during the succession of Mansour and Mahdi Then, he deals with his political views on the authority and works to understand them in the correct framework. Biographical books and translations devoted wide pages to translation for him, which provided abundant material that helped build a clear and accurate perception of the issues we are dealing with.
