Abstract

After the beginning of the Arab conquests and their arrival in Iran and the conquest of the regions, whether by peace or war, a contract was concluded with the people of those areas and the amount of tribute and tribute that the people were required to pay was specified in the treaty. . During the Rashidun caliphate, the general practice was for city dwellers to revolt after a peace treaty was signed. Examining the historical texts, it seems that the Iranian uprisings were more due to economic factors such as tax dissatisfaction, social factors, defending the identity and culture of Iran, opposition to the behavior of Arabs and discrimination between Arabs and non-Arabs than religious issues. Or even defending the Sassanid rule. These revolts existed throughout the caliphate of the Rashidun caliphs. The Iranians, who were in an identity crisis after the Arab invasions, did not relinquish Arab domination and raised the banner of opposition to the Muslims whenever they had the opportunity. In some cases, the opposition even provided a large force, such as the Qarn uprising in Qahistan against Muslim troops. Although in most of the uprisings, due to the lack of leadership in these uprisings and the consequent lack of coordination and planning, the Iranians did not go anywhere, but they narrowed the field to the invasions of the Muslim Arabs and there was always a serious obstacle in the way. They wanted it. The purpose of this study is to investigate the reasons and motives
