'''Ḥakamīyya''' (Arabic: الحَکَمیّة) or '''The Arbitration''' points out to a historical event concerning the [[Battle of Siffin]]. In this event, a person was elected as the representative of the army of [[Kufa]] and another as that of the army of [[Sham]], and everyone agreed to comply with what they agree on in accordance with the [[Qur'an]]. The hakamiyya, or the arbitration, was proposed as a solution for disputes between the two parties after a cunning by [['Amr b. 'As]] and [[Mu'awiya b. Abi Sufyan|Mu'awiyya]] following an imminent defeat of the army of [[Sham]]. [[Imam Ali (a)]] resisted the suggestion of hakamiyya from the beginning. Since 'Amr b. 'As—the "hakam" or arbiter of Sham—managed to deceive [[Abu Musa al-Ash'ari]]—the arbiter of [[Kufa]]—by announcing Mu'awiyya as the [[caliph]] although they had agreed on a different verdict, the story of hakamiyya failed to solve the dispute, and it only managed to save the army of Sham from its imminent defeat. | |||

Thus the hakamiyya was not based on the Quran and the Prophet (s)'s Tradition. Instead of making peace, it gave rise to more hostility between Iraq and Sham. And its most important upshot for people of Sham was that they gave Mu'awiya the title of [[Amir al-Mu'minin]] since then. | Thus the hakamiyya was not based on the Quran and the Prophet (s)'s Tradition.
