About Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah
Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyya was a son of Ali and an effective lieutenant for his father during his caliphate. After the assassination of Ali and the deaths of his two sons Hasan and Husayn, the events occurring in 661, 670 and 680 respectively, many recognized Ibn al-Hanafiyya as the head of the Alids. Claiming to represent Ibn al-Hanafiyya, Mukhtar al-Thaqafi rose in Iraq in 686 to avenge Husayn and his relatives, who were killed at the Battle of Karbala by the forces of the second Umayyad caliph Yazid I. The quiescent Ibn al-Hanafiyya did not actively associate with this rebellion but was still rescued by Mukhtar when he was detained by the rival caliph Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr.
