Hamidah ( Arabic: حمدة Ḥamidah), historically known as Hamudah, is a village and administrative sub-division ( 'uzlah) in Raydah District of 'Amran Governorate, Yemen. [1] [2] It is located on a small plain that sticks out to the west of the al-Bawn from a point just north of Raydah. [2]
Hamidah is an ancient settlement, with its name mentioned in several old Himyaritic inscriptions. It is mentioned in several historical sources including the Iklil and the Sifat Jazirat al-Arab, both by al-Hamdani, the Ghayat al-amani of Yahya ibn al-Husayn, the Sirat al-Hadi ila'l-Haqq of al-Abbasi, the Kitab al-Simt of Muhammad ibn Hatim al-Yami al-Hamdani, and the Muʽjam ma'staʽjam of al-Bakri. Hamidah was not the site of any major historical events, [2] although it is mentioned in Jewish historical writings as a place where the Imam Al-Mahdi Ahmad ordered the destruction of a synagogue in the year 1678 of the Common Era.
