Shaykh Sa'id ibn Isa al-Amudi (d. 671/1272) was a Shafii jurist and Sufi who lived in the town of Qaydun in Wadi Dawan, Hadramaut. Adopting the path of the Andalusian Abu Madyan, he founded the Amudiyya order, a branch of the Madyaniyya, and established a strong spiritual leadership in Wadi Dawan; the sources give limited detail on his life and order, and no authored work is attributed to him. He was buried beside his own mosque in Qaydun, and his grave is today among the foremost pilgrimage sites of Hadramaut. The death year (671) does not appear in the TDV entry; as it rests on hagiographic and reference sources, this transparency is noted here.
