Al-Mutawakkil al-Muhsin
Al-Mutawakkil al-Muhsin (died July 29, 1878) was an Imam who claimed the Zaidi state of Yemen in 1855-1878, in rivalry with several other contenders and with the invading Turks. His highly contested reign saw the temporary end of the independent Yemeni state.
==Contest for San'a==
Al-Muhsin bin Ahmad was a Sayyid from Shaharah, a stronghold north of the capital San'a, and he was therefore also known as ash-Shahari. He was a 15th-generation descendant of the imam al-Mutawakkil al-Mutahhar bin Yahya (d. 1298).〔http://www.almajalis.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=2632 (in Arabic); http://www.izbacf.org/page_display.php?book_id=37&page_num=66 (in Arabic). The line of descent is al-Mutawakkil al-Mutahhar - Ibrahim - Muhammad - Izz ad-Din - Abdallah - Ahmad - Izz ad-Din - Nahshal - al-Baqir - Abd ar-Rahim - Salah - al-Husayn - al-Hasan - Muhammad - Ahmad - al-Mutawakkil al-Muhsin.〕 Al-Muhsin lived in a time of great political turbulence in Yemen. Ottoman troops intervened in highland Yemen in 1849 but then withdrew, leaving the remains of the Zaidi state to its own devices up to 1872. Several contenders for the Zaidi imamate arose in the wake of this event: al-Mansur Ahmad (1849–1853), al-Hadi Ghalib (1851–1852), al-Mansur Muhammad (1853–1890), and al-Mansur al-Husayn III (1859–1863).〔As listed in Ayman Fu'ad Sayyid, ''Masadir tarikh al-Yaman fial 'asr al-islami''. Al Qahira 1974, p. 415.〕 The various imams were locally based and only held power for brief terms in San'a itself. Al-Muhsin claimed the imamate in 1855, and again in 1857, under the name al-Mutawakkil al-Muhsin. It was only in 1860, however, that the tribes close to San'a heeded his claim; the tribesmen feared the growing power of the Isma'ili Makramah polity, which was heretic from the Zaidi point of view.〔Yehuda Nini, ''The Jews of the Yemen 1800-1914''. Harwood 1991, p. 49.〕
In the same year 1860, the inhabitants of San'a, tired of the infighting, issued a proclamation that they would look after their own affairs. A shaykh called Muhsin Mu'id (d. 1881) was made governor of the city. He established contacts with Imam al-Mutawakkil al-Muhsin, who established his residence in the fort Dhu Marmar and struck coins. In 1867 the imam fell out with Governor Muhsin Mu'id and entered San'a by force, but was unable to remain there.〔The sequence of events is somewhat unclear; according to Yehuda Nini, 1991, p. 54, al-Mutawakkil al-Muhsin probably besieged San'a in 1865, after Muhsin Mu'id had invited the pretender-imam al-Husayn bin Ahmad. In the end, the power of the latter was eliminated by al-Mutawakkil.〕 In the next year, an agreement was made whereby al-Mutawakkil al-Muhsin was mentioned in the Friday prayer, leaving administration largely in the hands of the governor. In 1868, the imam also tried to curb the authority of the Makramah (Isma'ili) sect, which had used the times of trouble to take over the al-Haymah district.〔R.B. Serjeant & R. Lewcock, ''San'a'; an Arabian Islamic City''. London 1983, p. 91.〕 Although being supported by the Arhab tribe, he was unsuccessful in this enterprise. As a consequence, his prestige dwindled, and San'a once again became the scene of plunderings by tribesmen.〔Yehuda Nini, 1991, p. 143.〕
