Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿal-ʿAbbās[a] or Muḥammad al-Imām (679/80 - 743)[1] was the father of the two first 'Abbâsid caliphs, Al-Saffah and Al-Mansur, and as such was the progenitor of the Abbasid dynasty.[2][3][4]
He was the son of Ali ibn Abd Allah ibn al-Abbas and great-grandson of al-‘Abbas ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib, the uncle of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad.
Revolt of Mukhtar al-Thaqafi
[edit]When al-Mukhtar announced the revenge of Imam al-Husayn, he showed himself as the representative of Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah, the Promised Mehdi according to him.[citation needed]
Imam of the Hashimiyya
[edit]After the death of Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah, the imamate of the Kaysanite Shia transferred to his son Abu Hashim, who transferred it to Muhammad, paving the way for the Abbasid dawa and the Abbasid Revolution.[5]
