“Deviation in Mahdī sm”
Keysaniye believed in ” Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah”‘s Imamate.
After his death, some denied it and said, “He is alive but absent, he is hidden in Rizwa mount until the day, he will be commanded and will emerge.”

Forty men of creditable Shiites gathered in Imam Askari’s (pbuh) house, to ask him about the next Imam. Uthman ibn Sa’id [1] stood up and said, “O son of God’s Messenger! I want to ask you about a point which you are more erudite about it.” Imam [Askari (pbuh)] stated, “Oh Uthman! Sit down.” […]
