Muhammad Ibn Qasim (Arabic: محمد بن قاسم) was an Alid Imam.[1]
Background[]
Ibn Qasim had led an Alid rebellion that took place in Taloqan[2][3] at the beginning of the 3rd century of Hijrah (A.H.), in the year 219 A.H (834 C.E.), during the days of the Abbasid Caliphate of Al-Mu'tasim.[4]
Capture and escape[]
However, Al-Mu'tasim defeated and arrested him and carried him to Baghdad, detaining him in his palace. Shortly after, Muhammad was able to run away and flee, and was never heard of again.[citation needed]
Aftermath[]
Due to the unknown nature of his disappearance, people differed about his affair. Some people believed that Ibn Qasim died, or fled, while some of the Shiites believed he was alive and would reappear and that he was the Mahdi.
