Muhammad bin Talal bin Nayef Al Rashid (Arabic: محمد بن طلال بن نايف الرشيد Muḥammad bin Ṭalāl bin Nāyif Āl Rašīd; c.1904 – 1954) was the twelfth and last ruler of the Jabal Shammar Emirate in Ha'il. He reigned from early 1920 to 2 November, 1921.

Reign[]

Muhammad began his rule in early 1921, after Prince Abdullah's reign ended, which signaled the end of the Emirate of Jabal Shammar. Abdulaziz Al Saud made it his goal to include Ha'il, and by extension, the rest of the territory occupied by Jabal Shammar, in his nation.[1] Muhammad bin Talāl, the people of Ha'il, the Shammar tribe, and the Bani Tamim tribe fought several battles against the Al Saud forces, but King Abdulaziz reigned triumphant, where the Kingdom of Ha'il (Jabal Shammar) joined the Saudi State. Ha'il fell at the hands of King Abdulaziz on 2 November 1921 where upon the fall, Prince Muhammad bin Talāl moved to Riyadh.

Personal life and death[]

One of his spouses was Noura bint Sibhan.[2] King Abdulaziz forced him to divorce Noura and married her.[2] The marriage did not last so long, and he divorced her.[2] Next, he married one of the daughters of Muhammad, Jawaher.[2]

His other daughter, Princess Watfa, married Musaid bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. Their son Faisal bin Musaid assassinated Musaid's brother King Faisal on 25 March 1975.[3]

Muhammad bin Talāl died in Riyadh in 1954.
