Abstract
Alī ibn-i Muḥammad Bārzī is a figure who, despite posing a significant challenge to the Buyids in Kerman around 359-361 AH, remains shrouded in obscurity in the events of Iranian history in the 4th century. This is because primary sources have largely remained silent about him, so much so that his name, apart from in Ibn Miskawayh's report, is omitted from all historical records and even from the History of Sistan. However, the existence of a newly discovered coin minted in Sistan indicates his prominent presence in the political sphere of eastern Iran during this historical period. Was there any Sunni Samanid incitement against Khalaf ibn Ahmad Saffar (an ally of the Buyids)? The focus of this research is on identifying the factors behind the formation of ʿAlī ibn-i Muḥammad Bārzī's uprising, his political and military actions, and the reasons for his failure to sustain political power, with particular emphasis on the role of the Samanids. This study aims to redefine part of the political and military events in Iran, specifically in Sistan and Kerman during the aforementioned years, relying on numismatic studies. The findings, derived through a descriptive-analytical approach and the study of historical texts, especially the newly discovered coin, indicate that ʿAlī ibn-i Muḥammad Bārzī's political and military movement was closely related to the policies and plans of the Samanids in the Sistan and Kerman regions and in opposition to the Buyids.
