Muhammad ibn Ali al-Hadi

Muhammad ibn Ali ibne-Muhammed Nakî‘yyî’l-Hâdî was the son of Ali al-Hadi and the brother of Hasan al-Askari, the 10th and 11th Twelver Shia Imams respectively. His Tomb was constructed between Samarra and Kazmeen that is situated about 93 kilometers north of Baghdad in Balad.[1] Syed Muhammad Gaisu Daraaz was his grandson in 7th generation born in 1320/21 AD.[2]

A section of the Imamate Shiites believed that the Awaited Imam Mahdi was Muhammad ibn Ali al-Hadi, who died suddenly in Dajil. They believed in his occultation, like that claimed for Isma'il ibn Jafar, and they did not believe in his death. This sect was known as the Muhammadite Shia.[3]
