In the light of authentic traditions:
Based upon a lecture by hafiz Abu Yahya noorpori:
All the reports mentioned are sahih or Hassan according to hafidh Abu Yahya noorpori.
1. Explicit evidence of mukhtars heretical beliefs
Imam fasawi relays in Al ma'rifah wal tareekh:
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ: ثنا عِيسَى بْنُ عُمَرَ الْأَسَدِيُّ عَنِ السُّدِّيِّ [5] عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ الْفِتْيَانِيِّ [6] قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى الْمُخْتَارِ ذَاتَ يوم فقاليا جارية (321 ب) هَاتِ لِرِفَاعَةَ نُمْرُقَةً. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَلَيْسَ هَذِهِ نَمَارِقَ؟
قَالَ: فَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا قَامَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَنْ هَذِهِ وَمِيكَائِيلُ عَنْ هَذِه
قَالَ: ثُمَّ دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْيَوْمَ الثَّانِي وَهُوَ يَعْمَلُ الْكُوسَ. فَقَالَ: أَلَا تُعِينُنَا نَتَّخِذُهُ ثُمَّ نَحْرِقُهُ ثُمَّ نَنْسِفُهُ فِي الْيَمِّ نَسْفًا. قَالَ: فَأَرَدْتُ قَتْلَهُ فَذَكَرْتُ حَدِيثَ أَخِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَمْقِ: حدثني أَخِي عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَمْقِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: مَنْ آمَنَ رَجُلًا عَلَى دَمِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَأَنَا مِنْهُ بَرِيءٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ الْمَقْتُولُ ككَافِرً
Rafay entered upon mukhtar al thaqaffi, mukhtar ordered a girl to get a cushion for rafay , rafay exclaimed there were cushions already in the room, to which mukhtar replied, on one of them seated jibreel and on another one seated Mikael.
The following day rafay entered upon Mukhtar ,who was tightining the string of his bow,
Mukhtar asks rafay for help :
And then mukhtar speaks about the bow
"We will surely burn it and blow it into the sea with a blast."
(This basically is chapter 20 verse 97, the false prophets will often manupalte Quranic verses as if these had anything to do with their own self)
Rafy says: i intended to kill the heretic ,but then i remembered the hadith of Prophet (s.a.w)
"if anybody kills a person whom he has given sanctity, then i disaccsossicate from him , even if it the person is a kafir "

Imam Ibn sad records:
قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ دِينَارٍ الْمُؤَذِّنُ قَالَ:
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ الْمُخْتَارِ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ حُسَيْنٍ قَامَ عَلَى بَابِ الْكَعْبَةِ فَلَعَنَ الْمُخْتَارَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ: جَعَلَنِي اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ. تَلْعَنُهُ وَإِنَّمَا ذُبِحَ فِيكُمْ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ كَانَ كَذَّابًا يَكْذِبُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَعَلَى رَسُولِهِ] .
Isa bin dinar asked imam Abu jafffar (Muhamad ibn Ali ) about mukhtar al thaqaffi.
He replies Ali ibn Hussain (imam jaffar's father , also called as zain ul aabideen).was standing on the door of kabbah and did laan upon mukhtar .
Isa bin dinar asks(Abu Jaffar) , sacrificed i be upon you , you curse him while he was killed for you.
To this imam Abu Jaffar responds
He was a liar ,who lied upon Allah and his Prophet
