His full name is Muḥammad ibn al-Qāsim ibn ʿAlī ibn ʿUmar al-Ashraf ibn ʿAlī Zayn al-ʿĀbidīn ibn al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib.

Ibn al-Qasim led an Alid rebellion in Talaqan[1][2] in the year 219 AH (834 CE), during the days of the Abbasid Caliphate of Al-Mu'tasim.[3] However, Al-Mu'tasim defeated and arrested him and carried him to Baghdad, detaining him in his palace.

Shortly after, Muhammad was able to escape, and was never heard of again.[4] Some people believed that Ibn al-Qasim died, or fled, while some of the Shiites believed he was alive and would reappear and that he was the Mahdi.
