It was in second century A.H. that the first Muslims who were called Alavid arrived and settle down there, for they opposed and fought with Abbasid governors.

The same happened to Imamis by Naser Kabir’s sons.Two local governors of Dailam, namely Al - Jostan and Al - Mosafer, because of political relationships with the Zaiddiyahs inclined to this sect.The Buyid, who played an important political and religious role in Iran, came from Dailamites. They adhered to Twelve-Imams Shi'ism and developed it. Their religious diplomacy was to establish a Shiite authority.
