Seveners (Arabic سبعية) are a branch of Ismaili Shi'ism. They are known as "Seveners", because they believe Ismail bin Jafar was the seventh and the last Imam (or hereditary leader of the Muslim community in the direct line of Ali ibn Abi Talib). Sometimes the word "sevener" is used to refer to all Ismailis, though those of Fatimid heritage recognize more than seven Imams.
