 ==In the Hamdanid Period==
-The Hamdanids ruled al-Sham in the late 3rd/9th and the whole 4th/10th centuries, and the center of their government was at first [[Mosul]] and then Aleppo. The Hamdanid government was an [[Imami]] Shiite one which played a crucial role in the propagation of Shiism in al-Sham. The Shiite tendencies of Sayf al-Dawla al-Hamdani paved the path for the spread of the Nusayriyya in al-Sham. According to some accounts, Sayf al-Dawla gave a special position to the Alawites in his government. The Alawites believe that Sayf al-Dawla helped al-Khusaybi in the propagation of the Nusayriyya sect, and in exchange, al-Khusaybi dedicated his best-known book, ''al-Hidayat al-Kubra'', to Sayf al-Dawla.

 After Sayf al-Dawla, Shiism turned into a more serious sect in the Hamdanid realm. For example, Sa'd al-Dawla and Sa'id al-Dawla employed a number of Shiite judges in their judiciary systems.
