Al-Malik al-Muzaffar Shams al-Din Yusuf ibn Umar, third Rasulid king of Yemen; taking power after his father's killing in 648 AH, he was just and beneficent, assessed upon himself the atawa tribute to Egypt's Turkish kings and kept buying their goodwill, spent his first reign besieging the Damluwa fortress and fighting the Zaydi claimant Ahmad al-Mu'ti who took twenty Zaydi fortresses and Safad — and remained wali of Yemen until he died suddenly in 694 in the forty-sixth year of his rule.
