Syedna Hatim, the Dai of great virtues endeavoured ceaselessly for the culmination of Dawat and guidance of Moomineen. Observing his great virtues, a large number of people from Hamdam and Himyar tribes became his followers. They voluntarily handed over to Syedna the fortress of Kaokaban.
Sultan Ali bin Hatim became jealous of Syedna when he observed the culmination of Dawat and inclination of Hamdan to Syedna. He attempted to turn away the people from Syedna by bribing them with huge sum of money. He attacked with his army on the fortress of Kaokaban and laid seige of it. He remained unable to capture the fortress and prepared to retreat, but just at that time, he was informed by a hypocrate about the shortage of provision inside the fortress. Syedna came out of the fortress secretly and went to Hiraz.
In Hiraz, a hilly region at the north west of Sana'a, Syedna began to reorganize the affairs of Dawat, guide Moomineen and spread of Fatimi lore. Observing his piety and virtues, many of those diverted from Fatim Dawat to that of Abdul Majid, re-entered into the fold of Fatimi Dawat. Fortresses like Hajar and Hutaib were handed over voluntarily to Syedna by Moomineen who lived in them while numerous other fortresses like Shibam, Lihab, and Himzah were conquered by Syedi Saba ibne Yusouf Al-Ya'aburi. Syedna Hatim adopted Al-Hutaib Al-Mubarak as a center of Dawat and a large number of Moomineen gathered there to seek guidance and knowledge from him. Syedna Hatim compiled numerous books in Fatimi lore and delivered Sabaq to Moomineen. He built a masjid in Zahra and three masjids in Al-Hutaib Al-Mubarak. As a result, Dawat attained it's acme and Moomineen their strength.
