Hatim ibn Ibrahim al-Hamidi
Followers used to come to Syedna Hatim from all over
In San'aa, the Dawat was ably managed by the Dai's Mazoon, Syedna Mohammad b. Taher al-Haaresi.
- Dai period: 557–596 AH/ 1162–1199 AD
Life
Syedna Hatim became the third Dai al-Mutlaq in Yemen after his father the second Dai Syedna
Syedna Hatim was the first Dai to venture into the Yemeni political field after the era under the rule of the Sulayhid Queen
Banu Zuwahi, offered mountain-peak fortress of Kawkaban near San'aa to Syedna Hatim in 561/1166. San'aa was under the rule of Sultan Ali b. Hatim al-Yami of the Hamdan tribe. See Hamdanids (Yemen) for further information. Perceiving a threat to his own sovereignty, Sultan Ali proceeded to lay siege to Kawkaban. A trusted associate of the Dai, Ahmad al-Hibri betrayed him. Ahmad al-Hibri accepted a bribe from Sultan Ali, gave him vital information about the Dai's arrangements, and persuaded others in Kawkaban to turn against him, and forced Hatim to leave Kawkaban. He went to Lu'lu'a and Ray'an, two smaller fortresses some distance away. But Sultan Ali pursued him there with his troops and the Dai's reluctance to cause further strife among the Hamdan qabila prompted him to relinquish his hopes for acquiring territories in the San'aa region. He decided to move to the mountainous Haraz region, where there had been Ismailis from the time of the first Sulayhid ruler. In the next few years a series of successful military expeditions gradually brought most of Haraz under the Dai's control. The core of his army was the Ya'aabir qabila, and their chief Amir Sabaa b. Yusuf.[3]
