''' | '''ʿĀmir al-Sayyid Ismāʿīl b. Muḥammad b. Yazīd b. Rabīʿa al-Ḥimyari''' (Arabic: {{ia|السيد إسماعيل بن محمد بن يزيد بن ربيعة الحميريّ}}) known as '''al-Sayyid al-Ḥimyarī''' (Arabic: {{ia|السيد الحميري}}) (b. [[105]]/723-24, d. [[179]]/795-96) was among famous [[Shia]] poets who composed many poems in defense of Shia. His poems are so many that no one has so far been able to compile a complete record of all his poems. Only 2300 of his Hashimiyyat poems have been collected. It is said that he was first among [[Khawarij]], but then converted to [[Kaysaniyya]] and later became [[Twelver]] Shia through the guidance of [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]] and stayed Shia until the end of his life. | ||
