In this vein, reviewing Persian prose literature history especially between 4th through 8th centuries is a clear reason for this claim that the creators of prose texts is a reflection of conception of time power in Persian Prose and has left a precious heritage. Anyhow, the domain of events in these four centuries are in a manner that author is urged to contemplate on political consideration of that time. Present paper attempts to point out samples of Persian Prose texts in which the author has a pessimistic view on power and warns on authoritarianism calamities, fears, risks and fascinations of power. According to this paper, the main approach taken by literary works’ creators between 4th through 8th centuries which indicates a small part of their thinking system is based on expressing and aspiring evils and corruptions of power. Hence. In the first step, an excerpt of prose and reputable works between 4th through 8th centuries is considered and, then, a reflection of power perception and its outcomes are navigated from the lens of thinkers in 7th and 8th centuries
