[1] After the death of Sharif Abu Talib in Jumada II 1012 AH (November 1603), the ashraf of Mecca elected Idris ibn Hasan as Emir, with his brother Fuhayd and nephew Muhsin as co-Emirs.
Fuhayd and Muhsin were included in the du'a alongside Idris, and were together allotted a quarter of the Emirate's income.
Sultan Ahmed I confirmed the appointment of the three sharifs, and sent a decree that was read out in the Masjid al-Haram on Wednesday, 11 Safar 1013 AH (7 July 1604).
[4][5] On Thursday, 4 Muharram 1034 AH (16 October 1624) the ashraf deposed Idris and proclaimed Muhsin as sole Emir of Mecca.
[8][1] In mid-Ramadan 1037 AH (May 1628) Muhsin surrendered the Emirate to Ahmad ibn Abd al-Muttalib, then departed to Yemen.
