Abstract
The succession of the Prophet is one of the most important issues in the history of Islam. After the death of the second caliph, Omar bin Khattab, a six-member council was formed to determine his successor, which was rooted in his agenda and planning. Considering the tribal view in the composition of the council members and giving special privileges to Abdolrahman bin Auf, also lmam Ali's accurate pridiction of council's outcome and the stipulation that he would not be elected as the next caliph, a serious question arises; what is the reasons behind the presence of Amir al-Momenin in the council and why did Omar order the formation of such a meeting? According to the sources of the first category, it seems that the reason for the formation of a predetermined quality council is the lack of consensus among the people for life and the lack of the conditions for Othman's election by the Caliph himself. In this present study, which was conducted descriptive- analytical method, some of the causes of the presence of Amir al-Momenin in this gathering, lack of interdependence among Muslims, rejection of the Caliph's quoto from the massenger of Rasul-allah, the threat of murder and assassination, and the possibility of losing the caliphate opportunity for Imam Ali in the future.
