* 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. | * Mubarakiyya: According to Abu Hatam al-Razi, Mubarakiyya believed in the death of Isma'il and the imamate of his son Muhammad b.

* Other sects: In Fatimid sources and the works of [[Qadi Nu'man]], there is no hadith on the imamate of Isma'il. Only [[Ja'far b. Mansur al-Yaman]] has mentioned some infamous traditions on the imamate of Isma'il without mentioning their chains of transmitters. | * Other sects: In Fatimid sources and the works of [[Qadi Nu'man]], there is no hadith on the imamate of Isma'il.

In some Isma'ili and non-Isma'ili sources, it has been clearly stated that the [[Fatimid caliphs]] first regarded [[‘Abd Allah al-Aftah]], Isma'il's brother, as their Imam and ancestor, but later they left this belief and adhered to the imamate of Isma'il. | In some Isma'ili and non-Isma'ili sources, it has been clearly stated that the [[Fatimid caliphs]] first regarded [[‘Abd Allah al-Aftah]], Isma'il's brother, as their [[Imam]] and ancestor, but later they left this belief and adhered to the imamate of Isma'il. | ||

From the viewpoint of [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]], bada' in the case of Isma'il was related to his murder; that is, it was written for Isma'il to be killed, but this fate changed because of the prayers of Imam al-Sadiq (a). Al-Mufid has mentioned a hadith from Imam al-Sadiq (a) as a support for his viewpoint. | From the viewpoint of [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]], bada' in the case of Isma'il was related to his murder; that is, it was written for Isma'il to be killed, but this fate changed because of the [[prayers]] of Imam al-Sadiq (a).

In some other Imami sources, bada' in the case of Isma'il was the emergence of what was hidden from the people; that is, the people regarded Isma'il as the next Imam, but when he died before his father, they realized that the reality had been something else. This explanation is based on regarding the bada' as the emergence of something that is hidden from people, even though it has always been known for [[God]]. | In some other Imami sources, bada' in the case of Isma'il was the emergence of what was hidden from the people; that is, the people regarded Isma'il as the next Imam, but when he died before his father, they realized that the reality had been something else.
