Ibrahim was born in Qattab, Ibb. His oldest brother said that Ibrahim was one day in his early childhood playing near the pond filled with water with his father Mohammed Al-Hamdi. When he approached closer to the edge and began to touch the water, he saw his image on the surface of the water net pool. Then he mistakenly tried to save his reflection, believing it to be a drowning man because of his childhood innocence, causing him to slide in the pool; luckily some of his family members were there to save him after his stomach filled with water.
