Sa'd ibn Zayd
Sa‘d ibn Zayd ibn Muḥsin (Arabic: سعد بن زيد بن محسن) was Sharif and Emir of Mecca from 1666 to 1672, 1692 to 1694, 1694 to 1702, and briefly in 1704.
Birth[]
He was born in 1052 AH (1642/1643), the son of Zayd ibn Muhsin.[1]
First reign[]
Sharif Zayd died in Mecca on Tuesday, 3 Muharram 1077 AH (6 July 1666), after 35 years on the throne.[2] He was survived by four sons: Sa'd, Hasan, Muhammad Yahya, and . Only Sa'd and Hasan were present at his death; Muhammad Yahya was in Medina and Ahmad was in Najd.[3]
After Zayd's death there was disagreement among the ashraf as to who should succeed him as Emir of Mecca. The majority sided with , whose claim lay in the fact that it was his father, Sharif Abd Allah ibn Hasan, who had originally summoned Zayd from Yemen to be co-ruler with his son Muhammad ibn Abd Allah.[4] Only a small party of ashraf backed Sa'd for the Emirate, namely: Mubarak ibn Muhammad al-Harith, Rajih ibn Qaytbay, Abd al-Muttalib ibn Muhammad, Mudar ibn al-Murtada, Husayn ibn Yahya, Faris ibn Barakat, and Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Ali.[5] Both sides petitioned Imad Agha, who as sanjak-bey of Jeddah and shaykh al-haram of Mecca was the Ottoman government's representative in the land. Imad Agha decided in favor of Sa'd and sent him the khil'ah (robe of honor).[4][6]
