About Muhammad ibn Ismail
Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Ismāʿīl ibn Jaʿfar al-Maktūm, was the eldest son of Isma'il ibn Ja'far and the seventh Imam in Isma'ili Shia Islam. When Isma’il died, his son Muhammad continued to live in Medina under the care of his grandfather Ja'far al-Sadiq until the latter's death in 148/765. After the death of Abdullah al-Aftah, Muhammad was the senior most member of this Fatimid branch of al-Husayn’s descendants. However, due to the rival group that recognized Musa al-Kazim and the Abbasid persecution of all Fatimids, Muhammad ibn Isma'il fled Medina with his sons for the east. For this reason, he was known as al-Maktum. He had two sons when living in Medina and then four more sons after his emigration, among whom was his successor Ahmad al-Wafi. Muhammad's descendants further founded the Fatimid dynasty, later called the Nizari and Musta'li.
