Some of the Alids (descendants of Ali) were disappointed when the Abbasid State was established. Among them, Muhammad b. Abdullah (nicknamed as Al-Nafs al-Zakiyya) who was the grandson of Hasan acted against the Second Abbasid Caliph, Abu Jafar el-Mansur. During this political movement, the use of nickname ‘mahdi’ by Muhammad b. Abdullah for himself was included in our historical sources. The narrative that “the name matches my name, the name of his father matches my father's name” played an important role for him to get this nickname. So this narration was determined the name of mahdi as Muhammad b. Abdullah.
