These delivered him into the hands of the newly proclaimed imam al-Mansur al-Husayn III who was based at at-Tawilah west of Kawkaban.

Al-Mansur al-Hasan had to stay for much of his time in Sa'dah, the traditional stronghold of the imams in the far north.
However, al-Mansur al-Husayn defeated his opponent at As Sudah.
In 1738 a serious crisis occurred in the relations between the Zaidi government and the French traders in Mocha.
•
Al-Mansur al-Husayn II was also opposed by his brother Ahmad, who governed Ta'izz and kept the revenues for himself.
•
He was opposed by another claimant, an-Nasir Muhammad, who was supported by the Hashid and Bakil, and by the lord of Kawkaban.
Infighting among the Turkish administrators in 1613 left the north of the country exposed to the forces of the imam, and the important city Sa'dah fell in 1617.
•
Then, however, the emir of the important stronghold Hajjah in the western mountains chose to support al-Qasim.
In 993, a-Qasim proclaimed the imamate in Tihamah, but his movement was defeated in the next year by the governor of Mecca.
•
Al-Qasim invaded Yemen in 997 or 998 and appropriated Sa'dah, the traditional capital of the Zaydiyyah domain.
•
The governor in Dhamar, az-Zaidi, rebelled and captured the imam's son Ja'far.
In particular, he was known for his intensely negative views of Ibn Arabi, Hallaj, Ibn al-Farid, Ibn Sab'in and Shushtari, some of the primary figures in Sufism.
The anonymous Dutch translator, "S.D.B.", gave a concise biographical review of the philosophers related to the text: Al Farabi, Avicenna, Al Ghazali, Ibn Bajjah, Ibn Rushd, Junayd, and Mansur Al-Hallaj (with a description of his death and a reference to his famous "Ana al-Haqq").
