Early life

Saud was born in Diriyah in 1748.<ref name=gss84/><ref name=albees>Template:Cite thesis</ref> He was the eldest son of Abdulaziz bin Muhammad.<ref>Template:Cite thesis</ref><ref>Template:Cite thesis</ref> The mother of Saud was a daughter of Uthman bin Mu'ammar, ruler of Uyaina.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

Saud's succession was decided and announced in 1787.<ref name=pak9/><ref name=bak97>Template:Cite thesis</ref> Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab, religious leader of the state, asked people to express their allegiance to him as heir apparent.<ref name=cole23>Template:Cite book</ref> It was Abdul Wahhab's last significant function in affairs of state.<ref name=cole23/> From early age Saud began to act as the chief military commander of the Emirate together with his uncle, Abdullah bin Muhammad, who was the father of Turki bin Abdullah, the founder of the Emirate of Nejd or the Second Saudi State.<ref name=gss84>Template:Cite thesis</ref> Saud led the forces of the Emirate in 1789 and conquered Al Hasa region defeating the army of the Bani Khalid Emirate who had been the ruler of the region.<ref name=sani>Template:Cite thesis</ref> Although the rule of Bani Khalid Emir, Abdul Muhsin bin Abdullah Al Hamid, was ended by them, the Emirate could not completely capture the eastern Arabia.<ref name=sani/> When Abdul Muhsin was killed by his tribe members in 1791, Saud again attacked them and won a victory eliminating the dominance of Bani Khalid in the region in 1792.<ref name=albees/><ref name=sani/>

In April 1802 Saud led an army with 12,000 Wahhabis and attacked Karbala destroying the tomb of Imam Hussain bin Ali, a grandson of Muhammad.<ref name=abdulw>Template:Cite thesis</ref> In addition, they stole valuable materials in the tomb and killed the inhabitants of the city.<ref name=abdulw/> Following the incident Saud sent a message to the Ottoman governor in Iraq stating: "As for your statement that we seized Karbala, slaughtered its people, and took their possessions — praise belongs to God, Lord of the Worlds! We make no apology for that, and we say: 'And like catastrophes await the unbelievers' [Quran 47:10]."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Reign

The reign of Saud bin Abdulaziz began in 1803. Upon his accession to the throne he held the titles of both Emir and Imam like his father.<ref>Template:Cite thesis</ref>

Saud's reign was a period of religious cleansing in Arabia and in nearby regions.<ref name=shaf/><ref name=fandy>Template:Cite thesis</ref> He continued to attack on shrines in Iraq, and Basra was blockaded by his forces for twelve days.<ref name=mza/> The Emirate extended its rule beyond Najd and into the Hijaz which culminated with the capture of Medina in April 1804<ref>Template:Cite thesis</ref> and Mecca in 1806.<ref name=shaf>Template:Cite thesis</ref> In addition to capturing Hijaz he managed to strengthen his authority there.<ref name=mza>Template:Cite thesis</ref> Furthermore, Bahrain and Oman were annexed to the Emirate, and Saud exerted his influence in Yemen.<ref name=mza/> In 1805 Saud's supremacy was also recognized by the rulers of Qawasim and Muscat, and Saud managed to capture a part of Oman.<ref name=abdulw/> The same year he also annexed the Buraimi Oasis.<ref name=abdulw/>

Saud's forces transformed the Kaaba in Mecca and destroyed the tombs of numerous religious figures in Medina in accordance with Wahhabi theology.<ref name=shaf/> Due to the differences between Saud and the Ottomans in terms of the interpretation of Islam Saud ordered not to mention the name of the Ottoman sultan in Friday prayers in Mecca.<ref name=emine>Template:Cite journal</ref> Following the capture of Mecca he sent a letter to Ottoman Sultan Selim III, inviting him to follow the Wahhabi theology.<ref name=emine/> In the same letter he declared that he had captured Mecca and destroyed all tombs there and that he would not let people from Damascus and Cairo to visit Mecca "with the Mahmal and with trumpet and drums."<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

In 1807 Saud did not permit pilgrims from Egypt, Syria and Istanbul to enter Hijaz and expelled Turkish soldiers and settlers from Mecca.<ref name=mza/><ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Such religious transformations did not sit well with other Muslims, and many other Muslims found his actions to be extreme, and were stunned that the holy cities had been taken so easily. The Ottoman Empire did not want to relent control over the cities to local tribesmen. The Ottomans could not retake the cities on their own though as the bulk of their forces were tied up in Europe. Muhammad Ali, the viceroy of Egypt, was assigned to recapture the Arabian territories in 1809.<ref name=shaf/><ref>Template:Cite thesis</ref> One of his sons, commanding the Egyptian troops, succeeded in re-conquering Hijaz in 1813.<ref name=emine/>

Personal life and death

Saud had a very different personality than his father, who was a deeply religious figure.<ref name=nawaf>Template:Cite thesis</ref> He was interested in material side of the rule.<ref name=nawaf/> However, like his grandfather and father he dressed in a plain way, and his armaments were not decorated unlike those of the Mamluk and Ottoman rulers.<ref name=mmel>Template:Cite thesis</ref> He died in Diriyya on 27 April 1814<ref name=abdulw/> due to fever and was succeeded by his eldest son Abdullah.<ref name=pak9/><ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

Saud's other sons included Mishari, Turki, Nasser and Saad.<ref>Template:Cite thesis</ref> His youngest son, Khalid, ruled the Emirate of Nejd or the Second Saudi State from 1838 to 1841 with the support of the Ottomans.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Three of Saud's sons were killed in the siege of Diriyah by Ibrahim Pasha, who also arrested Saud's successor, Abdullah bin Saud.<ref name=matas>Template:Cite thesis</ref> Mishari bin Saud returned to Diriyah in 1819 and attempted to establish his rule, but Mohammed bin Mishari bin Muammar who began to rule the region after the collapse of the Emirate imprisoned him.<ref name=matas/>
