The apparent meaning of the Abbasid call was the removal of oppression from the family of Muhammad and the restoration of the caliphate to its rightful owners and the work of the Book and the Sunnah. That is why the slogan of their call was (satisfaction with the family of Muhammad) and they took the wearing of black as a symbol that indicates that they carried out this call to take revenge on the Alawites and to fight the oppressors and to show them grief for the people of the house (peace be upon him). The Abbasids marched throughout the advocacy period, pretending that their doing this was to end the control of the Umayyad authority over the Islamic state, and thus they were able to shade the common people, especially the group affected by the oppression of the Umayyad state, so the Abbasids announced that they were seeking to achieve social justice, remove the differences that widened under the Umayyad state and restore the caliphate to their rightful owners
The importance of this study shows how the Abbasids used the slogan (Al-Rida is from the family of Muhammad) and used it politically and intellectually to make their front opposition to the Umayyad rule in preparation for the revolution they carried out in Khorasan in the year 129 AH and their control over the Islamic state and how they betrayed the Alawites after the stability of the rule for them
The aim of this research: to clarify the reality of the Abbasid call, which was founded on the slogan of Rida from the family of Muhammad, and how this call deviated from the Alawites to the Abbasids
For the purpose of identifying the truth of the Abbasid call, we worked on tracing the original and modern sources and historical evidence using the descriptive analytical method, through which we concluded that
The Abbasids took this slogan (contentment with the family of Muhammad) to deceive the common people and some of the Alawites from the family of Hassan who agreed with them in the meeting of the fathers that the caliphate after the demise of the Umayyad state will be to the pure soul. He warned the Alawites and his Shiites against participating in this call, because the imam was aware that the goal of the Abbasids was to seize power, not as they claim in their slogan.
