However, Al-Mu'tasim defeated and arrested him and carried him to Baghdad, detaining him in his palace. Shortly after, Muhammad was able to run away and flee, and was never heard of again.[5]

Due to the unknown nature of his disappearance, people differed about his affair. Some people believed that Ibn Qasim died, or fled, while some of the Shiites believed he was alive and would reappear and that he was the Mahdi. Ibn Qasim is now long since deceased.
