INTRODUCTION
A Son of Is'haq Al-Mutamen
Syedena Hazrat Hassan Al-Hussaini (A.S) appears in classical genealogical literature as al-Hassan ibn Is'haq al-Mu'taman ibn Ja'far al-Sadiq. His place in the family record is important because he continues the Hussaini line descending from Imam Hussain (A.S) through Imam Ali Zain-ul-Abedeen (A.S), Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (A.S), Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (A.S) and Is'haq al-Mutamen.
The surviving genealogical works are primarily concerned with establishing his descendants rather than preserving a long narrative biography of his personal life. For that reason, this page distinguishes carefully between what the genealogical records establish and what cannot presently be confirmed.
NOBLE LINEAGE
His Place in the Family
Is'haq Al-Mutamen
Hassan was a son of Abu Muhammad Is'haq al-Mutamen ibn Ja'far al-Sadiq, the respected Ahl-e-Bait personality whose descendants form several documented genealogical branches.
A Hussaini Descent
Through Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (A.S), the family line runs through Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (A.S), Imam Ali Zain-ul-Abedeen (A.S), and Imam Hussain (A.S), connecting Hassan to the Prophetic household through the Hussaini branch.
GENEALOGICAL RECORD
The Line of Hassan ibn Is'haq
The al-Shajara al-Mubarakah records that the confirmed continuation of Hassan ibn Is'haq al-Mutamen was through one son, Muhammad, whose son was known as Hassan of Nisibin. That Hassan had two sons, Muhammad and Ahmad, both known by the designation “Ibn al-Muhammadiyyah,” and both are recorded as having descendants.
Other genealogical works, including Umdat al-Talib, preserve a broader set of branches and names connected with the descendants of Hassan ibn Is'haq. Because these works differ in how they organize the branches, the SMAAAQ page records the principal lineage while avoiding claims that cannot be reconciled confidently across the sources.
DESCENDANTS
From Muhammad to Later Sayyid Families
Muhammad ibn Hassan
The principal genealogical record identifies Muhammad as the son through whom Hassan ibn Is'haq's confirmed line continued.
Hassan of Nisibin
Muhammad's son is recorded as Hassan of Nisibin. His descendants included Muhammad and Ahmad, known together as Ibn al-Muhammadiyyah.
HISTORICAL CAUTION
What the Sources Do — and Do Not — Establish
The genealogical sources clearly place Hassan ibn Is'haq among the descendants of Is'haq al-Mutamen ibn Ja'far al-Sadiq.
The principal sources focus on his descendants rather than recording a detailed biography of his personal life.
No exact birth date, death date, burial place, or detailed account of his personal activities should be stated as fact without a stronger primary source.
HIS LEGACY
A Link in the Recorded Lineage
Although the surviving sources preserve fewer biographical details about Hassan ibn Is'haq than about his father, his importance is genealogical. His name stands within the recorded continuation of the family of Is'haq al-Mutamen, and his descendants became part of the wider network of Sayyid families recorded across the Islamic world.
In the SMAAAQ Family Tree, Syedena Hazrat Hassan Al-Hussaini (A.S) is therefore preserved as the generation immediately following Is'haq Al-Mutamen, with the lineage continuing onward through Syedena Hazrat Muhammad Al-Hussaini (A.S).
SOURCES
Genealogical References
Al-Shajara al-Mubarakah fi Ansab al-Talibiyyin records Hassan ibn Is'haq al-Mutamen and states that his confirmed continuation was through Muhammad, followed by Hassan of Nisibin and the Ibn al-Muhammadiyyah branch.
Umdat al-Talib fi Ansab Al Abi Talib preserves additional descendants associated with Hassan ibn Is'haq and records branches dispersed in places including Egypt and Nisibin.
Because medieval genealogical works sometimes differ in branch structure and individual names, this page intentionally uses cautious wording where the sources are not identical.
