Al-Mu'ayyad Yahya bin Hamza (15 October 1270-1345) was a Yemini imam. He served as the imam of Zaidi state in Yemen from 1328 to 1345.[1] He spoke Arabic.[2]
Early life[edit]
Yahya ibn Hamzah was a member of Zaiydism, but not of the Rasyid dynasty. He was a thirteenth generation descendant of the Shiite imam Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha (died 818).
Career[edit]
Imam al-Mahdi Muhammad conquered large lands of the Rasulid state, including the important commercial and political city of Sana'a. After his death in 1328, four claimants to the Imamate appeared. The list included Yahya, al-Naseer Ali ibn Salah, Ahmad ibn Ali al-Fathi , and the son of the deceased imam al- Wathiq al-Mutahhar ibn Muhammad. Yahya was chosen and was able to control Sanaa. Taking Sanaa as his base, he decided to wage war against the Ismaili sect of the tribe Hamadan in Dahr Wadi. The Rasulid state did not regain its lost lands in northern Yemen, leaving the Zaydis untreated. The imam wrote the book of victory, which is considered one of the most important legal legal books for the Zaydis, and the book that encouraged work for the true struggle of faith. It was popularly said that the number of pages of his books was equal to the days he lived.
Death[edit]
Al-Mu'ayyad Yahya died in 1345 (or in another source 1349) and was buried in Dhamar . After his death, Sanaa was besieged by two Zaidi brothers, Ibrahim bin Abdullah and Daoud bin Abdullah, who ruled as emir and did not seek the title of imam. Control of Sana'a lasted until 1381.
