Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr ibn Abi Quhafa al-Taymi (Arabic: مُحَمَّد بْن أَبِي بَكْر بْن أَبِي قُحَافَة, romanized: Muḥammad ibn ʾAbī Bakr ibn ʾAbī Quḥāfa; c. 631–July/August 658) was an Arab Muslim commander in the service of the fourth Rashidun caliph and first Shia Imam, Ali ibn Abi Talib. Muhammad was the youngest son of the first Rashidun caliph Abu Bakr (r. 632–634) and Asma bint Umays. He had his son, Al-Qasim taught by his aunt, Aisha, and by Ibn Abbas.^[1] Which is why many Hadiths are quoted through Muhammad and his son^{[citation needed]} and thus were the source of much of the information of Islam and narrations available today.
