An-Nasir Muhammad (Zaidi imam)

An-Nasir Muhammad (January 17, 1680 – August 23, 1754), was a Yemeni Sayyid who twice claimed the Zaidi imamate of Yemen, in 1723 and 1727–1729.

However, a well-known man of letters, Muhammad bin Isma'il al-Amir, managed to bring about a reconciliation.

When al-Mutawakkil al-Qasim died in 1727, an-Nasir Muhammad once again claimed the imamate from his base in Zafar, north-west of San'a.

[1] He was opposed by the deceased Imam's son al-Mansur al-Husayn II who held San'a.

One of an-Nasir Muhammad's sons stayed in confinement, while he himself withdrew to private life until his death in 1754.
