Since we got a little more in-depth on Muhammad ibn Hanafiyya and his possible relations to Ali ibn Talib on being either a spiritual son or physical last class, I decided to look into this and found these three sources on him. One being a Britannica stub on his relation to Ali ibn Talib, while the other two are works on his role in Shia Islam.

Since we talked about this in class, I thought I should post this article I found while looking for a paper topic. It covers the change of Baghdad through time under the Abbasid Caliphate. It shows the transition of the city founded by Al-Mansur. To the one that was sacked by the Mongols in 1258.
