Walikum Assalam Wa Rehmatullah.

Ismailism originated on the difference on the 7th Imam as per the Shiite lineage of Imamat. Shiite accepted Musa Al-Kazim to be the successor of Imam Jafar as Sadiq RA whereas Ismailis (as their name suggests) took the elder brother of Musa Al-Kazim, Ismail ibn Jafar as the successor. Similarly, Mustaali (of which a large group is Bohra) differentiated with Ismailis on the 19th legitimate successor, where Nizar was taken by Ismailis and Al-Musta'li was taken by Mustaalis to be their respective Imams.

And Allah knows best.
