At the opening ceremony of the international conference “Tradition and Era of Imam Hassan Askari (Ibn al-Reza)”, Dr. Rafiei, stated, “Imam Hassan Askari (a.s.) was confined in Samarra by Abbasids and many uprisings took place during his time. At that time, the intellectual crises of Ghulat, Waqefiyyah and Sufiyyah occurred. On the other hand, poverty and bad economic conditions prevailed.”
