Blessings of Coming

What is remarkable about his fragrant biography, may God’s peace be upon him, is his going in the year 270 AH / 883 AD with his father and some of his uncles to the city of “Amal” in Iran, and at that time it was under the rule of the Alawites, but the trip to the northern region of the Islamic world did not attract his attention, which made him leave shortly after. , Returning to his family's settlement in "Al-Rass" from Medina, and in Medina, the leaders of Yemen came to him inviting him to come to their country and pledge allegiance to him, and he answered the call of the descendants of the Ansar.

One of the most important blessings of that blessed coming is the transformation of Yemen into a stable for the longest Zaydi state in the Arab East, and the most important incubator for the thought of Ahl al-Bayt and the imams of guidance.

Features and advantages:

In his book The Islamic History of Yemen, Al-Hadi is the largest reformer whose name has risen in Yemeni history and has gained respect and love in the hearts of Yemenis.

His effects, actions and qualities have become such that, in the interest of the religious and worldly interests of the people, he has taken great care of their social and moral affairs.

The reasons for doing and going out:

The city of Sa 'ada and its successors during the historical period "270-280 E" were mired in chaos, turmoil and conflict, either because of tribal disputes between local leaders over governance, influence and interests or because of political conflicts between Ya'faris and local leaders on the one hand and between them and Fatimid State advocates in Yemen on the other.

Not to mention the geographical importance of the location of the city of Saada, and the connection it represents between the Abbasid state and its workers in Yemen, so its instability makes Yemen a prey for invaders and occupiers and a hotbed of unrest and strife, and vice versa, its stability is one of the most important keys to the stability of Yemen historically.

In the field events, a major dispute occurred between the residents of Saada and its offshoots from the Khawlan tribes over choosing a leader from among them to rule them, and to prevent bloodshed, they chose Imam Al-Hadi, peace be upon him, to go out to them and gather their affairs, and rectify their situation.

The tribes of the Yemeni highlands, especially Saada, and their successors, were connected to the Ahl al-Bayt, peace be upon them, in the Hijaz, and were loyal and loyal to them, so Imam al-Hadi responded to them.

Through them, he was able to bring about a quantum leap in this country mired in strife and conflicts, and to establish the Zaydi state, and perhaps among the most important reasons for his success and his state are:

1- The support of the Khawlan tribes and some of the Hamedan tribes, and their welcoming of his coming to Yemen, receiving him and supporting him.

2 - Weakness of the Abbasid state.

He stayed in Yemen for a short period, then decided to return to Al-Rass in Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah due to the occurrence of some evils.

Second Exodus to Yemen:

He arrived in Saada on Safar 6, 284 AH / 899 AD, and the Banu Saad and al-Rabi’ah joined him, and contract of harmony was concluded between them, and they swore to each other to leave sedition and enmity, then he took from them the pledge of allegiance to obedience, advocacy and fulfillment of God’s command, and he worked to resolve the burning strife and calm the situation in Saada And its parties, and he conducted reconciliation between the tribes of Khawlan, and ordered the dispersal of a quarter of the zakat from food to the poor, orphans and the needy, and put in place a new tax system.

He returned to Saada and established a covenant and security for the dhimmis of the Christians of Najran and others.

He spent a long time eliminating strifes, including the strife of the people of Athafat and Banu al-Harith in Najran and some of the tribes of Khawlan.

His appearance, may God’s peace be upon him, on the Yemeni political scene was in the year 280 AH, and his death in the year 298 AH, 910 AD, and the period of his appearance and succession was 18 years.
