Abstract:
Beyond the river country prospered under the Samanids who built up their state there.
They took the cities of Bukhara and Samarkand as their two capitals. They worked to
establish security and stability rules, revitalize economic life and encourage the scientific and
cultural movements throughout it.
They gave most of their attention to develop management and governing systems, so they
have many bureaus. The HISBAH ( Municipal guard, Health and Environmental
investigation ) Bureau received their support for its importance in controlling and preserving
the law, preserving the sanctity of religion and Islamic legality and safe guarding the rights
of people.

managing the HISBAH) to those who are well known for their competence knowledge ,
integrity and lack of favoritism from the private, scholars and jurists. So ALMOHTASB had
his distinguished position ad great ability under the Samanids state.
