Mutaib bin Abdullah Al Rashid (died January 1869) was the third ruler of the Emirate of Jabal Shammar whose reign was very brief between 1868 and 1869.[1]
Mutaib was one of the sons of Abdullah bin Ali Al Rashid who established the Emirate of Jabal Shammar in 1836[2] and ruled it until 1848.[3] He had two brothers, Talal and Muhammad.
Mutaib succeeded his older brother, Talal, in 1868.[3] [4] In January 1869 he was shot and killed in the Barzan Palace by his nephews, Bandar bin Talal and Badr bin Talal.[3] [5] One of the reasons for Mutaib's murder, cited by R. Bayly Winder, was the maltreatment of Bandar and his siblings by their uncle and emir Mutaib.[5] Following the killing of Mutaib, Bandar became the emir of Jabal Shammar[6] and the family members left Ha'il for Riyadh where they were given refuge by the Al Saud.[7]
One of Mutaib's sons, Abdulaziz, was adopted by his uncle, Muhammad, and ruled the Emirate between 1897 and 1906.[8]
