Shardmanny, not to say it matters, but Sunni school is far more Persian in origin than the Shia school. From the founder of the biggest school within Sunnis Imam Abu Hanifa to the compilers of six Sunni sahi books of hadiths (Bukhari, Muslim, Nasai, Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi, Ibn Maja) are all Persians. Later on, Ghazali who codified the Sunni orthodoxy too was Persian.

well actually im persian too, but my religious leaning (sunni) leaves me looking to Arabia in Positive light, we have Prophetic narration aswell which gives backing to a man from persia, and of course we have the Salman RA Companion and governor of iraq during the time of Umar RA caliphate who was persian. so yes i do look on persia positively aswell

you’ll find some of persian descent support a concept of persian nationalism which does not look positively towards Arabia. this latter group seem to be congregated within the shia

On the other hand Shia school and its teachings took a formal shape under Imam al Baqir and As Sadiq (both obviously Hashmi).

both are Imams of the ahulsunnah

they taught people the religion (this was a period when fiqh formulation was the requirement)
what is acknowledged is that ahulsunnah follow what they openly preached in Medina, and shias follow what is claimed they preached to a select few . this secret teaching of theirs appeared in Persia from those persians who went to visit the imams, a couple of centuries later what was being said by the people at that time, in persia, was penned by kulayni of kulayn, iran without much regard for sanad or authentication. of course he named his book as ‘sufficient’ for the shia

Shia compiler of hadiths such as Sheikh Mufid, Sheikh Saduq, Sheikh Yaqoob Kulayni, Syed Sharif Murtada, Syed Sharif al Radi (compiler of Nahjul Balagha) were all Arabs. In fact when Iran turned Shia under the safavids, they imported scholars from abroad since there wasn’t much of a native Persian Shia tradition at that point in time. Shaykh Hurr al Amuli for example (compiler of Wasail as Shia) was from Jabal Amil (modern day Lebanon).

Sheikh Mufid, albaghdadhi
Sheikh Saduq, qummi
Sheikh Yaqoob Kulayni, as you say of kulayn, iran
Syed Sharif Murtada, baghdadi
Syed Sharif al Radi, baghdadi
Shaykh Hurr al Amuli, lebanese

all persians except the last but he is a very recent birth.

also if your looking for a link between persia and shiaism then you do have narrations which state fire (hellfire) is forbidden to such and such exleader of preislamic persia, and narrations which venerate cities in iran because their inhabitants would be pious shias who cry for such and such purpose

also if you keep your eyes open for it you will find HEAVILY nationalistist persian sentiments coming from time to time
