Sayyid Ali Akbar was an Islamic saint, son of Imam Hasan al Askari[1] and brother of the Twelver Imam Muhammad al Mahdi. His existence is disputed and rejected by Shiite historians because of the contemporary political conflicts between the divinely appointed Imamah of his father and brother and the feudal leadership of the Abbasids.[2][3][4][5]

Lineage

Son of Imam Hasan al Askari

Genealogy trees of Middle Eastern families, mostly from Persia and Khorasan, show that Imam Hasan al-Askari also had a second son called Sayyid Ali Akbar. These indicate that Imam al-Askari had children and tend to substantiate the existence of Imam Muhammad al Mahdi. The reason for dispute over Imam Al Askari having children or not is perhaps because of the political conflicts between the followers of the Imamah and the leadership of the Abbasids and Ghulat Shiites who had not believed in Imam Hasan al-Askaris Imamah. Another reason was the protection against Imam Hasan al Askaris brother Jafar who pretended to be the Imam after his brother violently and denunciated, therefore, Hudaith Khatun.[6] Some historians studying the pedigrees of some Central Asian saints believe that the 12th Imam was not the only son of Imam Hasan al-Askari. In fact, the 11th Imam had two sons, Sayyid Muhammad (i.e. Imam Mahdi) and Sayyid Ali Akbar. Notable descendants of Sayyid Ali Akbar are Sufi Saints like Maudood Chishti and Bahauddin Naqshband.[7][8] descendant after 11 generations[9]. Khwaja Khawand Mahmud known as Hazrat Ishaan, descendant after 18 generations and the three saintly brothers Sayyid ul Sadaat Sayyid Mir Jan Sayyid ul Sadaat Sayyid Mahmud Agha and Sayyid ul Sadaat Sayyid Mir Fazlullah, Qadhi ul Qudhad i.e. chief of justice of the Emirate of Afghanistan, maternal descendants of Imam Hasan al Askari and Hazrat Ishaan. The German entrepreneur and member of the royal family of Afghanistan de:Sultan Masood Dakik is a contemporary descendant of Sayyid Ali-Akbar, through his great grandfather Sayyid ul Sadaat Sayyid Mir Fazlullah, Qadhi ul Qudhad i.e. chief of justice of the Emirate of Afghanistan.[10] Also qadi Qozi Sayyid Bahodirxon,[11][12] and the Sufi saints Tajuddin Muhammad Badruddin [13] and Pir Baba [14] and Sayyid Ahmed Amiruddin.[15][16] Another descendant of Sayyid Ali Akbar was Saint Ishan (Eshon) Imlo of Bukhara.[17] Ishan Imlo Bukhara "saint of the last time," as he is called in Bukhara, as it is believed that after him the Saints had no more. The average Asian Muslims revere him as the last of the Saints. Ishan Imlo according to the source, died in 1162 AH (1748–1749), the mausoleum (Mazar) is in a cemetery in Bukhara.

In her book "Pain and Grace: A Study of Two Mystical Writers of Eighteenth-Century Muslim India" p. 32, Dr. Annemarie Schimmel writes:

"Khwaja Mir Dard`s family, like many nobles, from Bukhara; led their pedigree back to Baha'uddin Naqshband, after whom the Naqshbandi order is named, and who was a descendent, in the 11th generation of the 11th Shia imam al-Hasan al-Askari."

Although Shiite historians generally reject the claim Hasan al-Askari fathered children other than Muhammad al-Mahdi, the Shiite hadith book Usul al-Kafi, in Bab Mawlid Abi Muhammad al-Hasan b. 'Ali confirms the claim that Hasan al-Askari had more than one wife, in addition to slave girls, with whom he had relations. In his Usul, al-Kafi writes:

"When the caliph got news of Imam Hasan 'Askari's illness, he instructed his agents to keep a constant watch over the house of the Imam...he sent some of these midwives to examine the slave girls of the Imam to determine if they were pregnant. If a woman was found pregnant she was detained and imprisoned...".
