Al-Malik al-Ashraf Ismāʿīl ibn al-ʿAbbās, numbered al-Ashraf Ismāʿīl I, was the seventh Rasūlid sultan of Yemen from 1377 until 1400. He succeeded his father, al-Afḍal al-ʿAbbās, and continued his patronage of literature and scholarship. He was also faced with several revolts and Zaydī raids. He was the author or co-author of a history of Yemen, Fākihat al-zaman, which overlaps substantially with the Kifāya wa-l-iʿlām of ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥasan al-Khazrajī. On his death, he was succeeded by his son, al-Nāṣir Aḥmad.
