Sa'ad bin Abdul Rahman Al Saud (1888–1915) was the only full brother of Abdulaziz, founder of the modern state of Saudi Arabia. He was one of Ibn Saud's most devoted supporters and a key lieutenant in the early military campaigns. He was called Sa'ad the First, because his stepmother had a son named Sa'ad II later years.

Early life

His mother was Sarah bint Ahmad Al Kabir Al Sudairi.[1] He was Abdul Rahman's second son from his marriage to Sarah Al Sudairi.[2]

Death

Saad was captured by the 'Utaybah tribe who had taken him to Sharif Hussein in 1912, and Ibn Saud was forced to pay a humiliating ransom to Sharif Hussein for his release. He was later killed in the battle of Kinzaan against the Ajman tribe in 1915.[1][3]

Personal life

Sa'ad was married to Jawhara bint Saad Al Sudairi.[4] Following the death of Sa'ad she married Ibn Saud with whom she had at least four children, including Saad, Musaed, Abdul Muhsin[4] and Al Jawhara.

Sa'ad's sons Faisal, Fahd and Saud were taken in by Ibn Saud and raised as part of his own family. They later married into the King's family. Faisal bin Saad married King Ibn Saud's daughter Sara bint Abdulaziz. King Ibn Saud's another daughter, Al Anoud, who was full sister of Prince Muhammad and King Khalid, also married to the sons of Sa'ad bin Abdul Rahman.[2] She first married Fahd bin Saad. After they divorced, she married Saud bin Saad.[2]
