Fuhayd and Muhsin assumed the Emirate in partnership with Idris in Jumada II 1012 AH (November 1603), by decision of the ashraf.
They were included in the du'a alongside Idris, and were together allotted one quarter of the income of the Hejaz due to the Emir of Mecca.
Sultan Ahmed I confirmed the appointment of the three sharifs in a decree that was read out in the Masjid al-Haram on Wednesday, 11 Safar 1013 AH (7 July 1604).
In late Rabi II 1019 AH (July 1610), Idris and Muhsin deposed Fuhayd and exiled him from Mecca.
[5][6] The year of his death is recorded numerically in the poet's verse: مات بالروم فهيد بن الحسن / Died in Rome, Fuhayd ibn al-Hasan[6]
