The Battle of Al-Safra took place in late 1811, when Tusun Pasha's forces engaged with Saudi forces led by Saud bin Abdulaziz.

The Saudis retreated to Wadi Al-Safra near Medina,[4] the Ottomans had an army of 8,000[5] or 14000 men.

[6] When Saud bin Abdulaziz heard of the invading Ottomans, he recruited his forces from Najd, Hejaz, and Tihamah with an army of 18,000 men and 800 cavalry and marched to Wadi Al-Safra (also known as Al-Kheif) with his son Abdullah bin Saud Al Saud.

Abdullah then sent a small force to engage with the Ottomans, but they were defeated and 32 were killed.

[10][11] The Ottomans retreated unorganized from the battlefield, leaving 600 dead on the field; however, they were chased by the Saudis, who dealt great casualties to them, and the final Ottoman casualties were 4,000[12] or 5,000[13] killed; the Saudis lost only 600,[14] and they captured 7 Ottoman cannons alongside much weaponry.
