Hussayn al-Baqir ibn Ka'b Naqbiyli (17 May 1925-5 July 1990) known posthumously as Mullah Sayyid, or by his Kunya Abu Thawra, was a Zubaydi political and religious figure who served as Chairman of the Party for National Liberation and Popular Democracy from 1949 until he stepped down in 1989. He was the founder of the Federal State of Zubaydah and an architect of the Widha, which oversaw the violent unification of numerous Khatti States during the cold war. After the Revolution he maintained his postion as Chair of the party and held de-facto absolute power over the state.

Hussayn was a studious youth, His parents would pool money to make sure that Naqbiyli was able to attend private schools ran by the Tiberian Church. Wheh he was 13 years old he would enroll in a Madrasa. He would quickly fall into scholarly pursuits while under the teaching of Maytham al-Dandachi. It was during this time that he was able to discover his relation to the Prophet Ubaydullah and was thus given the title Sayyid. He would complete his studies in 1948. Having already been deemed an excellent orator and see as a virgining religious leader. He helped to found the Party for National Liberation and Popular Democracy as part of hi growing and vocal anti-colonial message. He was initially the Junior Partner in this arrangement as Hidayatullah Bettayeb, and Riyadh al-Alusi were seasoned political operatives. But the young cleric had a message that complimented the shared ideas of the others and was brought on to help pull in the rural and conservative populace who might have otherwise looked at the movement with skepticism.
