The Safavid dynasty came to power with the help of the Turkic Ghazalbash of Asia Minor, but with the passage of time, non-Turkish clans were also able to play a role in the new political system. Meanwhile, some Kurdish clans were noticed by the Safavid kings. The present study examines the history of the presence and residence of the Chegini Kurdish tribe in some areas of Khorasan; That is, the area that was not the main residence of the Kurdish people. Contrary to what is often thought, the presence of Kurds in parts of Khorasan region is not limited to the reign of Shah Abbas I (1038-996 AH), but before that, some Kurdish clans had migrated to Khorasan, which until now has received less attention. has been The current research is trying to look at the roots of the migration of Chegini Kurdish tribe and the quality of their presence in the political and social levels of Khorasan during the Safavid era. The results of this research indicate that there is a significant relationship between the role of the Cheginis in power and their reflection in the field of historical writings, so that during the period of lack of power, the name of the clan is rarely seen in the sources, and during the peak of Cheginis power We often see their presence in historical sources, and therefore, the presence and absence of a tribe in its sources can indicate historical developments..

Great Khorasan, as one of the important regions of the Islamic world and Iran, experienced two different periods during the period of Timur Gourkani and his son Shahrukh. Timur relying on Alus Joghtaei’s support of the military commanders made extensive conquests in West Asia. Following these conquests, the cities of Khorasan, like most of the conquered places, faced with murder, looting and destruction. After Timur’s death and Shahrukh’s accession, prosperity returned to Khorasan and these areas came out from under the pressure of the Timurid period. This research aims to analyze Timur and Shahrokha’s actions in Khorasan with descriptive analytical method and using library sources. The findings indicate that Timur, considering his own interests and attachment to his capital, Samarkand, tried to use the economic resources and human and cultural capacities of the conquered regions, especially Khorasan, for the prosperity of Mavara- al- Nahr. Timur's discriminating view of Khorasan caused chaos in this province and repeated the calamities that the Mongols brought upon this region. On the other hand, Shahrukh made a significant effort to develop Khorasan due to his attachment to it, reliance on Iranian bureaucrats, and adherence to Islamic laws..
