Husayn Abd al-Hadi

[1] Ibrahim viewed the Abd al-Hadi family as a rising star among the rural nobility of Jabal Nablus and selected Husayn, the head of the clan, to be his deputy in Palestine,[2] while Acre was still under siege.

The elevation of a member of the Abd al-Hadi clan came at the expense of the Tuqan family's traditional and influential position in Jabal Nablus.

The revolt was suppressed by the end of the year and Husayn was rewarded for his loyalty and effective service by being promoted to Mudir of Sidon Eyalet, which included all of Palestine.

Shaykh Yusef Qadri of Ya'bad served as Husayn's principal agent in Nablus, helped him acquire numerous prime commercial properties there and partnered with him in many of those investments.

[8] A number of Husayn's sons also owned factories or served various administrative or political offices, including ٍSulayman (who succeeded his father as Wali[9]), Mahmud, Muhammad and Abd ar-Rahman.
