Person
Saba ibn Abi al-Su'ud
Saba ibn Abi al-Su'ud was a ruler of the Zurayid dynasty of Aden in Yemen. After years of conflict within the family, he defeated his rivals around 1138 and united Aden under a single line. The Zurayids followed the Hafizi branch of Isma'ilism and were recognised by the Fatimid court in Cairo, and they later extended their rule inland.
