Sulaymanids

The Sulaymaniden were a dynasty of sharifs from the line of al - Hasan, whose power center in Harad lay in the northern Tihama in today's Saudi Arabia and arrived in Yemen. The epoch of its activity is not backed up over time. It is believed that it was between about 1069-1173, overlapped by the fatimidentreuen dynasties of Sulaihiden and Zurayiden and the Arab dynasty of the sultans and the hamdanidischen Mahdiden.

Little is known about this dynasty. What is certain is that they exercised a certain dominion in the northern ( Yemeni ) Tihama and were involved in the affairs of the Negroid slave dynasty of Nadschahiden. It is a tributary of subordination to these suspects ( vassalage ).

The sulaymānische army suffered under Wahhās 'm Ghānim a crushing defeat against the Mahididen ruler ʿ Abd al - Nabī, the same time ended the dominance of the Nadschahiden in Zabīd and the southern Tihama. Wahhās 'm Ghānim was 1164. His brother Qāsim allied itself in 1173 with the Ayyubids under Turanshah against the Nadschahiden than Turanshah arrived in Yemen and subjugated the country. The rule of Sulaymaniden was thus terminated fact. Likewise, ended the rule of the Mahdiden and Zurayiden, had to give way to the Ayubbiden.
