Lineage[edit | edit source]
Some Shia scholars of Rijal have mentioned his name as Muhammad b. Sa'id[1] and some others have recorded his name as Muhammad b. Abi Sa'd,[2] but some have considered Abu Sa'id, the kunya of Abd Allah b. Aqil and have considered a possibility that Muhammad b. Sa'id would have actually been the same Muhammad b. Abd Allah b. Aqil.[3]
Martyrdom[edit | edit source]
After the martyrdom of Imam Hussain, a teenager called Muhammad b. Abi Sa'id b. Aqil came out of the tents and looked around anxiously and fearfully. One of the soldiers of Umar b. Sa'd called Luqayt b. Ayas (Nashir) al-Juhani attacked him and killed him with a strike.[4]
five of the martyrs of Karbala had not reached the age of puberty and one of them was Muhammad b. Abi Sa'id b. Aqil who was 7 years old.[5]
In the Ziyarah al-Shuhada, he has been mentioned as, "Peace be upon Muhammad b. Abi Sa'id b. 'Aqil and may God curse his murderer, Luqayt b. Nashir al-Juhani."[6]
