Al-Ḥāfiz (Arabic: الحافظ ) (died 1149) was the eleventh Caliph of the Fāṭimids (r. 1130–1149)
Al-Ḥāfiz assumed the caliphate as the cousin of the murdered Al-Amir (1101–1130). Since al-Amir had not named an heir when he died, the succession of al-Ḥāfiz was not uncontested - a group of Shī‘ah recognised al-Amīr's son Ṭayyib Abī al-Qāṣim as rightful heir, leading to a new schism. Additionally, AbuAli Ahmad bin AlAfdal, whose father was regent to AlMusta'li before he was thrown when AlAmer succeeded him, challenged and jailed alHafiz and in fact ruled for a brief while before he was assassinated, presumably by supporters of AlHafiz.
