Sa'ad bin Abdul Rahman Al Saud (1890–1915) was the brother of Abdulaziz, Emir of Nejd (who later founded the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia). He was one of Abdulaziz's most devoted supporters and a key lieutenant in his early military campaigns.
The Al Saud family were exiled shortly after Sa'ad's birth, settling in Kuwait. After his brother Abdulaziz captured Riyadh, Sa'ad returned there.[7] Kuwaiti ruler Mubarak Al Sabah sent nearly seventy warriors to Riyadh who were led by Sa'ad.[7]
Arrest and deathedit
In 1912 Sa'ad was sent by Emir Abdulaziz to meet Hussein bin Ali, Sharif of Mecca, who came to Nifi to build a good relationship with Abdulaziz.[8] However, Sa'ad was attacked and captured in Al 'Iridh area by the Al Shiyabiyn clan, who belonged to the 'Utaybah tribe.[8][9] His companion Faraj ibn Lihif was killed in the same incident.[8] Sa'ad was brought to Sharif Hussein[8] who sent his envoy Khalid ibn Luai, Amir of Al Khurmah, to Emir Abdulaziz demanding that he should accept the sovereignty of the Ottoman government in the region as well as to pay an annual sum of money to the Ottoman government for Sa'ad's release.[8] Abdulaziz accepted all these requests signing a paper, and Sa'ad was released.[8][10]
One of Sa'ad's wives, Sara bint Abdullah Al Sheikh, was the sister of Tarfa bint Abdullah, mother of King Faisal.[5][14] Another of his wives was Jawhara bint Saad Al Sudairi.[15] Following the death of Sa'ad she married Abdulaziz, with whom she had at least four children.[15][16]
Sa'ad's sons, Faisal, Fahd, and Saud, were taken in by Abdulaziz and raised as part of his own family. They later married to King Abdulaziz's daughters. Of them, Prince Faisal bin Sa'ad married the King's daughter Sara bint Abdulaziz. Sara's half-sister Al Anoud married two sons of Sa'ad bin Abdul Rahman.[3] She first married Sa'ad's eldest son, Prince Fahd. After they divorced, she married his brother Saud.[3] Fahd bin Sa'ad was a close confidant of King Faisal and was appointed governor of Asir Province on 8 June 1969 replacing Turki bin Ahmed Al Sudairi, a distant relative, in the post.[17] One of Sa'ad's daughters, Sara, was the spouse of Muhammad bin Abdulaziz.[17] Sa'ad's grandson, Bandar bin Saud, a former air force pilot, was among the victims in the Swissair Flight 111 accident on his way from New York City to Geneva on 2 September 1998.[18]
