Both the fourth and fifth centuries are considered as the era of the political-religious power and dominance of Shiism over the world of Islam. Shiites’ geographical expansion throughout the world of Islam, accompanied by the political support of the two states of Buyid Dynasty in Baghdad and the Fatimids in Egypt and Shamat(The Levant) region, allowed Shiites to both freely express their beliefs and perform many of their rites. According to the bipolar conflict theory in sociology, investigating Shiites’ doctrinal-social status, based on the texts and reports indicating Shiite-Sunni confrontations of identity, could be one of the sources for the social-historical analysis of those times. One of the important sources in this regard is the famous balladry by Ibn-e-Monir Tripoli named Ttryh, in which these clashes of identity are well depicted. Ibn-e-Monir, being impressed by an incident occurred between him and one of the then grandees in to Sharif, in which he pictured a host of beliefs and confrontations present in the then society. The range of the issues posed in this poem, including doctrinal beliefs, ritual inconsistencies and practical issues (namely jurisprudential), shows all the confrontations present at that time. Examining the verses of this poem, the present study seeks to first demonstrate the origin of Shiite beliefs and rites passed down by Ahl al Bayt (Family of the Prophet); and second, point out the historical evidences and the existence of disconformity among the Islamic sects of the then society, especially in Baghdad as the residence of Sharif and Shamat and Egypt as the residence of Ibn-e- Monir
