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[citation needed]. 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]
Attack on Shrine
On July 7, 2016, at least 40 people were killed and over 74 injured after a group of attackers stormed the Mausoleum. The attackers included suicide car bombers, suicide bombers on foot, and several gunmen. They attacked Shi'ite pilgrims celebrating Eid al-Fitr.[4][5] There were three attackers, who have all been killed by security personal.[6] Hezbollah condemned the attack on sacred Shia Muslim shrine.[7]
In the past, there was bombing and sectarian bloodshed in Samarra, where Imam Ali al-Hadi and eleventh Imam of Twelver Hassan al-Askari, the father and brother of Muhammad bin Ali al-Hadi are buried.[8]
