Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd Allāh ( Arabic: محمد بن علي بن عبد الله) or Muḥammad al-Imām (679/80 - 743) [1] 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. He 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]

Revolt of Mukhtar al-Thaqafi

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 te Hashimiyya

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]
