The story of the founder, Imam Muhammad bin Saud:
Imam Muhammad bin Saud bin Muhammad bin Muqrin was born in the year 1090 AH - 1679 AD. He grew up in "Diriyah" and benefited from the experience he went through in his youth when he worked alongside his father in arranging the conditions of the emirate, which gave him full knowledge of its conditions.
Imam Muhammad bin Saud participated in the defense of "Al-Diriyah" when it was invaded by Saadun bin Muhammad, the leader of Bani Khalid in Al-Ahsa, and was able to withstand and defeat the aggressor army
Many qualities were known about him, such as religiosity, love of goodness, courage, and the ability to influence
Muhammad Bin Saoud was an increase in the history of his predecessors, who built the shield and their rulers, and transferred it from the city of the city to a wide state.
Including the internal conflict over the Emirate of Diriyah between Muhammad's uncle and Prince Zaid bin Markhan, as well as the Diriyah campaign against Al-Uyaynah, and the killing of Prince Zaid bin Markhan, and also the spread of plague disease in the Arabian Peninsula during that period, which caused a large number of deaths and deaths.
And with all these challenges, Imam Muhammad bin Saud can overcome it and overcome them alone, and to contribute to the publication of stability in the Al -Awsa region.
And he had a great impact in stabilizing the situation in the emirate before he came to power, at the same time, Imam Muhammad bin Saud had an insightful vision, as he studied the conditions in his emirate and the surrounding emirates in particular, the Levant and Central Arabia in particular.
Since assuming power, he began planning to change from the prevailing pattern during those days, establishing a new path in the history of the region represented in unity, education, spreading culture, enhancing communication between members of society and maintaining security. He had four sons: Abdul Aziz, Abdullah, Saud, and Faisal.
Reliable informants on the status of Muhammad bin Saud mentioned that he was a man of many good deeds and worship, contemplation and contemplation, which indicates that he was a lover of his personality in extrapolation, deliberation and future vision. His father, Saud, and grandfather, Muhammad, were two princes over the Emirate of Diriyah, and they were the largest of their people.
Imam Muhammad was generous in nature, a facilitator of livelihood, and he had many properties, including palm trees and crops. He said from the generosity of Imam Muhammad bin Saud that the man was coming from the country, asking him for a lot to fulfill his debt to him, so if he knew that he was right he gave him, even in one of the years, he had a man who has a family He was working with some people's money, so he spent it on his own tasks, and he had four thousand gold, and when he arrived in Diriyah, he explained the matter to Muhammad bin Saud, so he gave him four thousand gold. His children said to him: Would you give this money to a man whom you only know by name? He said: Yes, my children, but it was made for the dignity of the children of Adam. If a brother is humiliated, he should be helped as much as possible, so that he will not be despised by the lowly, and Nasser Ibn Ibrahim, you have heard of him that he was a man who had wealth and honor, and time forced him to show his honorable people.
If someone from his town or community is unmarried, he should ask about his condition.
And it was customary for Imam Muhammad bin Saud that he did not see a young man who did not have anything from a device except that he equipped it, and commanded him to marry, and if anyone refused to give his daughter to a person who betrothed her and he is suitable, he himself walked to him, and admonished him for that, and perhaps he made it a condition that he would not marry him. If damage occurs to her in terms of clothing, belongings or housing, I am liable for it. And he used to do that where the condition was inevitably signed, and that was due to his good conduct and his secret, and his desire for the healing of his group and the abundance of their goodness through reproduction and mutual support, and he loved solitude.
