 | This article's factual accuracy may be compromised due to out-of-date information. The reason given is: A lot of things have happened since 2016. Among those is that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi died in 2019, so nobody is in his inner circle any more. (July 2021) |

Ni'ma Abd Nayef al-Jabouri (Arabic: نعمة عبد نايف الجبوري), known by his nom de guerre Abu Fatima al-Jaheishi (Arabic: أبو فاطمة الجحيشي) or Abu Fatima al-Jiburi, is an Islamic State militant currently believed to be the deputy leader of the Islamic State's Iraq Wilyat.
Initially in charge of the IS operations in southern Iraq before he moved to the northern city of Kirkuk,[1] he then became Governor of the South and Central Euphrates region in the Islamic State and a senior member in the IS hierarchy.[2][3]
The available information indicates that as of 2016, Abu Fatima was alive and part of the inner circle of Islamic State leader then-leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, serving as his deputy in the position of the overall leader for Iraq.[4] He succeeded Abu Muslim al-Turkmani,[5] who was killed by a US drone strike near Mosul on 18 August 2015.[6][7]
