Gharib Mirza
Mausoleum of al-Mustansir III, known locally as the tomb of Shah Gharib, Anjudan[1]
Abbas Shah (died August 1498), also known as Gharib Mirza and with the regnal name of al-Mustansir Billah III, was the 34th imam of the Qasim-Shahi branch of the Nizari Isma'ili community.
He succeeded his father, Abd al-Salam Shah, upon his death in 1493–4, at Anjudan. According to oral Nizari tradition, he died in 1496–7, but the inscription in his mausoleum gives the date as August 1498.[1] According to Nizari tradition, he was succeeded by his son Abu Dharr Ali, known as Nur al-Din.[2]
