An assassination attempt on him by his uncle and then emir Sultan bin Hammud, had failed when he was young. A boy of 10 when he was made emir, his mother, Fatima Al Zamil, and his maternal relatives of the Al Sabhan family ruled as regents on his behalf until 1914,[1] based on the constitution. In October 1919, he took back the Al Jawf Region from the Ruwallah, which was seized in 1909.
In 1920, he was assassinated by his cousin, Abdullah bin Talal (a brother of the 12th amir). Two of his widows remarried Ibn Saud: Norah bint Hammud Al Sabhan became his eighth wife, and Fahda bint Asi bin Shuraim Al Shammari of the Abda section of the Shammar tribe became his ninth wife and the mother of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.
