Ismaili History 407 - Death of Ismail

Ismail lived for the most part in Salamia, where he died after bequeathing the office of Imamate to his son Muhammad. According to 'al- Usul wa'l Ahakam' by Hatim bin Imran bin Zuhra (d. 498/1104) that, 'Ismail had sent his dais to all parts and ordered him (Muhammad) to administer the oath in his name according to the custom of all preceding Imams. When his death drew near, he appointed as his heir, his son Muhammad who showed great perfection.'
