In his book, Amikam Elad offers a detailed study of the revolt of the Alid al-Nafs al-Zakiyya in 145/762 and the relations between the early Abassids and the different Talibi families, mainly the Hasanis and the Husaynis.
This book presents a detailed in-depth study, primarily based on primary Arabic sources, of the background, history and the consequences of the rebellion of Muhammad b. Abdallah b. al-Hasan b. al-Hasan b. Ali b. Abi Talib, better known as al-Nafs al-Zakiyya, in 145/762, during the reign of the Abbasid Caliph, Abu Jafar al-Mansur. It focuses on the relations between the early Abbasid and the different Talibi-(Shii) families - mainly the Hasanis and the Husaynis - and the internal struggles between these factions for the legitimacy of authority.
