How the zeydi school spread?
This moderate shi’i school barely survived until our time, there are a few people in Yemen who claim to be its followers.
Some Mujtahids whose views did not reach our time as a mazhab are the following:Ibn Shubrumah (74-144 H./693-761 M.) Ibn Abi Layla (74-148 H./693-765 M. )Awzai (88-157 H./707-774 M.)

Ali (Zahiri) (202- 270 H./817- 883 M.) Tabari (224-310 H./836-922 M.)
