   Ibn al-Muqaffaʿ is one of the famous translators and scholars in first era of Abbasid caliphate. He is one of the translators who could effect the kings' behaviors and his movement was an opening to form the Shu'ubiyya and translation movement which were responsible for Iran's protection and transferring important achievements to Islamic era. Al-Jāhiz Basri – although was a religious man – attempted to translate Pahlavi's Book in order to remind remarkable ethical and social issues of Sasanian to Abbasids. This research intends to study the various aspects of the mentioned subject by citing valid historical and literal references and based on the descriptive analythical method.

  The authors of "Golestan" and "Kalila and Dimna" both emphasized of madden policy and governing traditions in some way. There is a strong conjunction between considering ethics principles and morality in madden policy and governing traditions such as justice, secrecy, social security, advisory and consultation, belief in destiny and fate and etc. with the kings and governors. This is completely obvious in Iran's historical sources. Saadi specifies one chapter to kings and governors in Golestan and other chapters contain hints in this regard. In Arabic Kalila and Dimna the subject is said by animals in symbolic way. Both authors attempt to find a solution to solve people's problems. Studying two works shows that not only the governors come to madden policy and play the governors' advisors role but also some literary men do the same. Manuscript profile
