Al-Ash'ari Family: Difference between revisions

It is said that al-Ash'ari family chose Qom as this city was conquered by their ancestor [[Malik b. 'Amir]] before. He treated them kindly and he made affords to defend this city from the attacks of Tabarestan and Daylami. As a result people were supporting him when he was staying in Qom. When he returned to Kufa, he told his children about Daylami and Taghrud (a village near Qom) which has inspired them in order to choose Qom as their destination. People also welcomed them warmly, when they arrived in their city.

However some narrations mentioned that al-Ash'ari family intended to stay in other regions like [[Isfahan]], Qazvin or Azerbaijan, not Qom. But those regions were hit by Cholera, they had to temporarily stay in a village near Qom. Meanwhile Daylami attacked Qom and al-Ash'ari family went to help people of Qom. They managed to defeat Daylami, and accordingly local people asked al-Ash'ari to stay in Qom and settle there.
