Zayd ibn ʿAlī ( ; 695–740), also spelled Zaid , was the son of Ali ibn Husayn , and great-grandson of Ali . He led an unsuccessful revolt against the Umayyad Caliphate , in which he died. The event gave rise to the Zaidiyyah sect of Shia Islam , which holds him as the next Imam after Ali ibn Husayn . In contrast, his elder half-brother Muhammad al-Baqir is seen as the next Imam of the Twelver and Isma'ili Shias. Nevertheless, he is considered an important revolutionary figure by Shias and a martyr ( shaheed ) by all schools of Islam, Sunnis and Shias. The calling for revenge for his death, and for the brutal display of his body, contributed to the Abbasid Revolution . Zayd was a learned religious scholar. Various works are ascribed to him, including Musnad al-Imam Zayd (published by E. Grifinni as Corpus Iuris di Zaid b. ʿAlī , also known as Majmuʿ al-Fiqh ), possibly the earliest known work of Islamic law . However, the attribution is disputed; these likely represent early Kufan legal tradition . The Oxford Dictionary of Islam . Encyclopaedia of Islam , Second Edition .
