===Umar b. al-Khattab===
Abu Musa became politically active in the time of the [[Umar b. Khattab]]. Mughira b. Shu'ba was replaced with Abu Musa as the governor of [[Basra]], who was the fourth appointed governor of this city by Umar b. Khattab. Abu Musa managed to rule over [[Basra]] for over 12 years, except for a short interval, when he was sent to [[Kufa]] to replace [[Ammar b. Yasir]]; but he retuned Basra after a short time. Abu Musa was selected as the judge of Basra by Umar b. Khattab as well.

Abu Musa remained the governor of [[Basra]] in the early years of Uthman's caliphate as it was recommended by [[Umar b. Khattab]]. Therefore, it is concluded that Umar b. Khattab regarded Abu Musa as a trustworthy person. He was also in charge of judicial system of Basra. It seems right that Abu Musa was Emir of Basra six years after the death of Umar b. Khattab as it is reported that he was dismissed due to complaints of people in 29/649-50.

When Abu Musa was removed from his position, he refused to accept financial support from the caliph and settled in [[Kufa]]. After five years, people of Kufa led by [[Yazid b. Qays]] and [[Malik al-Ashtar al-Nakha'i]] staged an uprising and forced [[Sa'id b. 'As]] out of Kufa, then Abu Musa was chosen as the governor of the city. As Sayf stated, rioters intended to throw [[Uthman]] down as well, but Abu Musa defended him and said that he would accept to be the governor under one condition: people would take oath of allegiance to Uthman again. This incident delighted Uthman in a way that Abu Musa remained as the governor of Kufa to the end of caliphate of Uthman.
