“As for the ‘Itrah’ (the progeny) to whom the Zaydiyyah belong, they
are the People of the Cloak and their descendants until the Day of
Resurrection. Among them are Zayn al-ʿAbidīn, Zayd ibn ʿAlī, al-Baqir,
al-Sadiq, al-Qasim ibn Ibrahīm, al-Hadī ila al-Haqq Yahya ibn al-
Husayn, and al-Mansur bi-Allah ʿAbdullah ibn Hamzah. This continues
to Imam Mujaddid (Renewer) of the Religion in the 14th century, Majd
al-Dīn ibn Muhammad ibn Mansur al-Muʾayyadī, and his student, the
Eminent Scholar and Hujjah, al-Sayyid al-Husayn ibn Yahya al-Huthī
(peace be upon them all). They are represented in our time by our
Master, the Eminent Scholar and Hujjah, al-Sayyid Muhammad ibn
Abdullah Awad al-Muʾayyadī may Allah preserve him.
