Al-Manṣūr had him and the members of his household seized—shackled, fettered, and humiliated—and conveyed them from Madinah to al-Hāshimiyyah. There he thrust them into the narrow prison, as we have already mentioned, and most of them died within its walls. ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ḥasan was the first to die there after Muḥammad’s uprising in Madinah.

It has also been said that he was deliberately killed in the dungeon. He was seventy-five years old when he died. His maternal brother al-Ḥasan ibn al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī performed the funeral prayer over him; later al-Ḥasan himself died, and his maternal brother Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr ibn ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān led the prayer over him. Both were then killed, and their heads were carried to Khurāsān, as noted earlier.

As for his son,
Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ḥasan ibn Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib (1)—the one who rose in revolt in Madinah—he transmitted hadith from his father, from Nāfiʿ, and from Abūʾl-Zinād on the authority of al-Aʿraj from Abū Hurayrah concerning the manner of lowering oneself into prostration. A number of scholars narrated from him. Al-Nasaʾī and Ibn Ḥibbān deemed him reliable, while al-Bukhārī said, “His hadith is not corroborated.” It is reported that his mother carried him in her womb for four years. He was tall, stout, dark-complexioned, large-framed, dignified, possessed of lofty aspiration, formidable presence, and striking courage. He was killed in Madinah midway through Ramaḍān in the year 145 AH at the age of forty-five. His head was taken to al-Manṣūr and paraded throughout the provinces.

His brother Ibrāhīm appeared in Baṣrah after his brother’s uprising in Madinah, and he was killed in Dhūʾl-Ḥijjah of the same year, after his brother’s death. Nothing from his hadith is recorded in the Six Books.

Abū Dāwūd al-Sijistānī related from Abū ʿAwānah that he said, “Ibrāhīm and his brother Muḥammad were Khārijites.” (2)

Abū Dāwūd responded, “That is not so; this is merely the opinion of the Zaydīs.”

I (the author) say: It has been reported from a number of scholars and leading imams that they inclined toward supporting their uprising, yet this matter requires closer examination. Allah knows best.

Among the celebrated figures and notables who died in this year were:
• al-Ajlaḥ ibn ʿAbd Allāh,
• Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Khālid—according to one report—,
• Ḥabīb ibn al-Shahīd,
• ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Abī Sulaymān,
• and ʿAmr, the freedman of ʿAfrā.
