Abū l-Qāsim at-Taiyib ( Arabic أبو القاسم الطيب, DMG Abū l-Qāsim aṭ-Ṭaiyib ) is the 21st Imam of the Musta'li-Tayyibi - Ismailis . According to Tayyib, these are also called Tayyibites or Ṭayyibī ( Arabic طيبي) after the last (twenty-first) imam recognized by them. According to the tradition of the Tayyibite Musta'lites, he is the son of al-Amir (1096–1130), the 20th Imam of the Ismailis .

The majority of the Musta'lis believed that at-Tayyib had disappeared, but that he was in a concealment like the Mahdi , as the Ismailis originally believed of Muhammad ibn Ismail .

Among the Musta'lites , a distinction is made between the Tayyibites ( al-Ṭayyibiyya ) and the Hafizites ( al-Ḥāfiziyya ), who recognize al-Hafiz , the Fatimid ruler of Egypt between 1130 and 1169 as a legitimate imām, and not at-Tayyib. The Hafizites lost all support after the fall of the Fatimid dynasty; today's Musta'liyya are all Tayyibites .

The Musta'li Tayyibi Ismailites include Dawudi Bohras , Sulaimani Bohra and Alavi Bohra and others. a.
