Abstract
Ziya-e Sultani was the lands belonging to the Abbasid caliphate, which included various types such as Zia Khasa, Abbasi, Faratiyah, and Mustahdesah. The ownership and income of Ziya-e Sultani was exclusive to the caliphs.These properties were mostly in Iraq and Khuzestan, but there were also in other regions such as Khorasan, Transoxiana and Fars. After the fall of the Umayyads, these properties were transferred to the Abbasids, and then during two centuries of going ups and coming downs, they were greatly reduced during the Samanid period. Although a lot of researches have been conducted on the condition of Khorasan during the Abbasid period, but no research has been done on Land ownership and Ziya-e Sultani. Therefore, based on ancient sources and descriptive-analytical method, in the present research, an attempt has been made to answer questions about the way of emergence, characteristics, causes of growth and then reduction of Ziya-e Sultani wastage in Khorasan and Transoxiana. It seems that the Ziya-e Sultanate in Khorasan and Transoxiana was created and developed by the confiscation of Umayyad properties and other opponents and rebels in the first half of the Abbasid caliphate. Then, from the second half of the Abbasid caliphate and simultaneously with the Tahirian and Samanid governments, their size and importance were reduced due to their handing over in the form of vassalage and sale.
