Akhbari (or communicators of tradition, akhbar being the Shi'i term for the Traditions) was a religious movement by Arab Shiite Muslims in 17th century Iraq that was opposed to the Usuli.
Akhbari Shiism did not promote political control, and held that clerics should advise political leaders but not govern themselves.
