Abstract
. Proving the legitimacy of Imam Ali in various ways is the duty of every Shiite. Among these ways is the statement of the obedience of the caliphs in comparison with the multitude of virtues of Imam Ali (peace be upon him). One of these obediences is the violation of the Companions by the army of Usamah and its consequences. The aim of this article, which is presented in a documented library method and an analytical-explanatory method, is to examine and explain the implication of the violation of the Companions by the army of Usamah on the obedience of the caliphs and the superiority of Imam Ali (peace be upon him). As a result, this process is rooted in the vision and tendency of the violators on the one hand and their intentions and goals on the other. The Ijtihad against the text for violating the army of Usamah caused them to return to Medina, forbid giving the tablet and pen to the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family), and form a hut to usurp the caliphate. This particular historical page caused division among Muslims and the deviation of the caliphate. This action is considered to be obedience to the caliphs in this respect, which implicitly indicates a violation of the explicit command of the Holy Quran on absolute obedience to the Prophet, which in itself requires the removal of the title of caliph of the Prophet, because the legitimacy of the caliphate is preceded by absolute obedience to the successor. While Imam Ali (peace be upon him) has proven this submission in all positions and in this process too, he has been exempted from the beginning and, unlike the sheikhs of the companions, has not been placed under the banner of the young Usamah.
