Life
Abu Khaled Al-Kabuli, He was one of the companions of Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyya, who later became one of the companions of Zayn al-Abidin. [6] While accompanying and serving Muhammad ibn Hanafiyah, he was able to meet Zayn al-Abidin with the guidance and insistence of Yahya ibn Umm Dawal, due to the references he made about the high status of Zayn al-Abidin and the great respect that Muhammad Hanifiyah had for him.When Zain al-Abidin called him by his childhood name, Kankar, he became sure of his Imamate [7] His mother gave him the nickname Kankar but was not known by this nickname among the people of that time [8] The Ismailis believe that Ibn Hanafiyah was appointed by Husayn as a temporary imam as a cover to protect the real imam, Zayn al-Abidin. [9] According to Al-Fadl ibn Shadhan, during the lifetime of Ali ibn. Husayn, among the Imam's companions, no one knew the Imam and did not follow him completely, except for five people, which are: Sa'id ibn Jubayr, Said ibn al-Musayyib, Muhammad b. Jubeer b. Mutam, Yahya b. Umm al-Tawil and Abu Khaled al-Kabel. [10] Abu Khaled Kabuli spent most of his life in Medina from 61 to 114. [11]
