The children of Muhammad are said to have been born to his first wife Khadija bint Khuwaylid, except his son Ibrahim, who was born to Maria al-Qibtiyya. None of Muhammad's sons reached adulthood, but he had an adult foster son, Zayd ibn Harithah. Daughters of Muhammad all reached adulthood but only Fatima survived her father.
The Zaydis emerged in reverence of Zayd ibn Ali's failed uprising against the Umayyad caliph Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik (r. 724–743).

Zayd had been born into the Kalb tribe but as a child he had been kidnapped by slave-traders. He had been sold to a nephew of Khadija bint Khuwaylid, who in her turn had given him as a wedding present to her husband Muhammad. After some years, Muhammad had manumitted Zayd and had adopted him as his son. [4]: 6–10
Zayd ibn ʿAlī (d. 120-1/740) was a descendant of al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī. Zaydiyya emerged from his rebellion in Kūfa in 740. At this time Zaydiyya did not designate a religious group, but rather a socio-political group. [14] This can also be seen from the backing Zayd ibn ʿAlī received.
