MAP 2. The Abbasid Empire (750–800) and independent states on its periphery.

Shi‘ite uprisings did not stop with the elimination of the Hasanid Mahdi and his brother. A quarter of a century later, in 786, there was an uprising against the Abbasids in Mecca under the leadership of an ʻAlid from the same Hasanid branch of the house. The uprising was suppressed but one of the leaders escaped from the Battle at Fakhkh and went to the Maghreb. Muhammad b. Idris (788–91) thus established the Idrisid dynasty and spread Shi‘ism in North Africa. It was in North Africa that the Shi‘a had their ultimate revolutionary success in the beginning of the tenth century. There, as we shall see in chapter 7, the Ismā‘ili Shi‘a produced our next Mahdist revolutionary movement—what later came to be known as the Fatimid Revolution.
