The youngest son of the first Rashidun caliph Abu Bakr (r. 632–634) and Asma bint Umays, Muhammad was a leading rebel against the third Rashidun caliph Uthman (r. 644–656) and was accused of being involved in the assassination of Uthman in June 656.
Gayyab narrates in his book Fitnat Maqtal ‘Uthman, 1/209 that "it is clear that Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr was innocent in the murder of Usman, just as the wolf was innocent of the blood of Yusuf ‘alayh al Salam."
