Hatim ibn Ibrahim

States People Centers Other Hatim ibn Ibrahim al-Hamidi[1] (Arabic: حاتم بن إبراهيم الحامدي, romanized: Ḥātim ibn Ibrāhīm al-Ḥāmidī) (died 16 Muharram 596 AH, 6 November 1199 AD), Al-Hutaib, Yemen) was the third Tayyibi Isma'ili Dāʿī al-Muṭlaq (Absolute Missionary).

He was of the Banu Hamdan tribe of Yemen and succeeded his father, the second Dai Syedna Ibrahim, to the religious post.

It is in this context that Syedna Hatim became interested in territorial acquisition and becoming a military power as a security requisition for the Taiyabi Ismailis.

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.

[3] Amongst his many works of literature are: Al-Majalis al Hatimiyyah, Risalat Tohfatil Qulub, Zahru Bazr al-Haqa'iq, Tanbeehul Ghafileen and Al-Shumus ul- Zaherah.
