Muhammad ibn Hani al-Andalusi al-Azdi, (Arabic: أبو القاسم محمد بن هانئ بن محمد بن سعدون الأندلسي الأزدي, Abu'l-Qāsim Muhāmmad ibn Hāni' ibn Muhāmmad ibn Sa'dūn al-'Azdī; c. 936–973), usually called Ibn Hani, was an Andalusī Isma'īlī Shī'ī poet and the chief court poet to the Fatimid Caliph al-Mu'izz. Most of his collected poems are in praise of the Fatimids against the claims of the Abbasids and the Umayyads of Iberia. He was also called al-Mutanabbi of the West (Arabic: متنبي الغرب) by many of his contemporaries as well as later historians. Ibn Hani was murdered on his way from Egypt in c. 973.[1]
