Wafi Ahmad

 
Wikipedia: Wafi Ahmad

Wafi Ahmad is the eighth Ismaili Imam according to the Nizari branch of Ismailism, and the ninth according to the Mustaali. He was surnamed al-Wafi. As the Imam, he was the supreme spiritual leader of the Ismaili community from his appointment till his death. The Nizari and Mustaali trace their Imamate lines from him and his descendants who founded the Fatimid Empire. He was succeeded by his son, Taqi Muhammad. [1]

Ninth imam as per ismaili /mustali/dawoodi bohra after imam mohammad ibn ismail is Imam abdellah ibn mohammad,this get further study from following;

"Quarterly Journal of the AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF BEIRUT ,Vol. XXI. Nos. 1 2,Edited by MAHMUD GHUL as THE HIDDEN IMAMS OF THE ISMAILIS,Sami N.Makarem,the tree is as follows “In addition to what has been concluded from this study, the following deductions can also be drawn: ------ To the Isma'ilis, the names of the hidden Imams after Muhammad ibn Isma'il ibn Ja'far are: Abdallah ibn Muhammad (better known in Isma'ili circles as Ahmad al- Wafi)------, " In dawoodi bohra religious books ,names of 21 IMAM are given in “dua of taqqarrub” in same sequence as above.This dua is taught to all bohras and compulsory to recite after all five times sallat offered every day,This rule is known and same from our first Dai,hence there is no ambiquity at all on this, among bohra. Photo copy of the “dua of taqqarrub” is pasted in file of wikipedia named as "dua of taqqarub" which clarifies all doubts.
