Edited sentence: Al-Mukhtar led the rebellion, which was launched from Kufa, in present-day Iraq, as it was previously prophesised by the Prophet (PBUHAHP) that he will avenge the killing of Imam Husain ibn Ali (AS).It is rumored (very wrongly indeed that he was rebelling on behalf of Ali's son Ibn al-Hanifiya.Muhammad ibn Al-Hanifiya, never claimed to be the Mahdi-the saviour of the Muslim, as he considered Imam Husain (AS) as his Imam, and was very obedient to him.Mukhtar was also a childhood friend of Imam Husain (AS)
