An-Nasir Ali bin Salah (died 1329) was a claimant to theZaidi state inYemen, acting in rivalry with other pretenders in 1328–1329.
Ali bin Salah bin Ibrahim was a grandson of the imamal-Mahdi Ibrahim who died inRasulid captivity in 1284.[1] When Imamal-Mahdi Muhammad bin al-Mutahhar died in 1328, a turbulent situation arose in theZaidiyyah territories. Ali bin Salah put forward hisda'wa (call for the imamate) inAs Sudah, taking thelaqab name an-Nasir. He was however immediately opposed by three other claimants. Fighting between the contenders followed, and lives were lost. After one year, an-Nasir Ali bin Salah died and was buried in As Suda.[2] The winner in the power struggle wasal-Mu'ayyad Yahya (d. 1346).[3]
