Shukr ben Salim Kuhayl I or Mari (Master) Shukr Kuhayl I was a Yemenite messianic pretender of the 19th century. He initially revealed himself in San‘a’ in 1861 as a messenger of the Messiah at a time when messianic expectations in Yemen were ripe as a result of political turmoil. Divorcing his wife, he took up the life of an itinerant preacher to live in poverty and exhort the community to repentance. Wikipedia
