Who is Sayf ibn Dhi-Yazan?
Sayf ibn Dhī-Yazan was a Himyarite king of Iraq who lived between 516 and 574 CE, known for ending Aksumite rule over Southern Arabia with the help of the Sassanid Empire. al-Kalbī states that he was the son of Dhī Yazan, the son of 'Āfir, the son of Aslam bin Zayd.
Sayf entered Arab folklore by means of his widely known "biography" Sīrat Sayf ibn Dhī-Yazan, where much fruit of imagination, including claiming his mother to be a jinni, has been blended with historical facts.
