A branch of Musta鈥榣i Ismailis. Upon the death of the twentieth Imam of the Musta鈥榣i Ismailis, Fatimid Caliph al-鈥楢mir bi-Ahkam Allah, the official Musta鈥榣i da鈥榳a in Cairo, along with the majority of Musta鈥榣ian Ismailis in both Egypt and Syria, and some Musta鈥榣ians in Yemen, recognised al 鈥楢mir鈥檚 cousin, al-Hafiz as the next Imam-Caliph. These Must鈥榓li Ismailis became known initially as the Majidiyya and then as the Hafiziyya or Hafizis. The Zurayids of Aden and some of the Hamdanids of Sana鈥檃 also supported the Hafizi da鈥榳a. Hafizis seem to have disappeared soon after the demise of the Fatimid caliphate in 1171 CE.
