Abdulaziz bin Mutaib Al Rashid (Arabic:عبد العزيز بن متعب الرشيد,romanized: ʿAbd al ʿAzīz bin Mitʿeb arRašīd; 1870–12 April 1906), better known asIbn Rashid, was theEmir of Jabal Shammar from 1897 to 1906.[1][2]
Abdulaziz bin Mutaib was born in 1870.[3] He was the son of the third Rashidi emir,Mutaib bin Abdullah, and was adopted by his uncleMuhammed, the fifth emir who made Abdulaziz his heir.[4] After Muhammed died of natural causes in 1897 Abdulaziz succeeded him unopposed. However, the Rashidi rule was insecure, as theirOttoman allies were unpopular and weakening. In 1902,Ibn Saud, the founder ofSaudi Arabia, returned from Kuwait with a small force and retook Riyadh.[5] Ibn Rashid, who engaged in several battles with Ibn Saud's forces, died in 1906 in the battle ofRawdat Muhanna against Ibn Saud.[5]
