In a PET Publication biography of Mukhtar, there is an interesting account referring to Imam Hussain 's brother Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah.
It describes at length the prediction of Imam Ali about the going into ghaib of Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah and the actual incidents leading to his disappearance.
This was the first time I came across these incidents.
I am wondering if these are sourced from reliable ahadith.
Adding to the confusion is the fact that there exists a sect that believe that Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah is the Mahdi whose glad tidings were announced by the Holy Prophet .
