Ahmad ibn Abd al-Muttalib

Aḥmad ibn ‘Abd al-Muṭṭalib ibn Ḥasan ibn Abī Numayy (Arabic: أحمد بن عبد المطلب بن حسن بن أبي نمي‎) was Emir of Mecca and ruler of the Hejaz from 1628 to 1629.[1]

He was proclaimed Emir in Jeddah in late Safar 1037 AH (November 1627) by Kurji Ahmad Pasha, the governor of Yemen, after the latter had a dispute with Sharif Muhsin ibn Husayn.[2][3] After Muhsin surrendered, Ahmad entered Mecca as Emir on Sunday, 17 Ramadan 1037 AH (21 May 1628).[4][5]

He was assassinated by order of Kansuh Pasha, governor of Yemen, in the 5th hour of the night, on Sunday, 5 Safar 1039 (around 10–11 pm on Saturday night, 22 September 1629).[6][7]
