* Mubarakiyya: According to Abu Hatam al-Razi, Mubarakiyya believed in the death of Isma'il and the imamate of his son Muhammad b. Isma'il when Imam al-Sadiq (a) was alive. They maintained that Isma'il was the successor of his father, but since he died before his father, his son Muhammad became the next Imam. This is because after Imam al-Hasan (a) and Imam al-Husayn (a), the position of imamate would not be transferred from a brother to another brother.
