Banu al-Zuray' of Aden, the Ubaydi da'is of Yemen; of the Hamdan clan of Jasm ibn Yam nearest to al-Sulayhi, seated at Aden by Ahmad al-Mukarram — then splitting into factions, the Banu Zuray' ibn al-Abbas prevailed after great wars, their first king al-Da'i ibn Abi al-Su'ud taking Aden in 533 and dying seven months after the conquest; his son al-Agharr, then their mawla Muhammad ibn Saba', styled al-Da'i al-Mu'azzam Sayf Amir al-Mu'minin, who bought Dhi Jibla castle itself; last of their kings the poet-munificent Yasir ibn Bilal, praised by Ibn Qalaqis, until Sayf al-Dawla Saladin's brother took Aden and ended their state — they who had founded al-Hudayda near Aden.
