Saeed Pasha Khair

ٍSaeed Pasha Khair (Arabic: سعيد باشا خير, Saeed Khayr; 1867 – 28 January 1925) was a Jordanian politician born in Al-Salt, Jordan.

In November 11t, 1920, Khair, his son-in-law, and a group of Jordanian dignitaries met the then Sharif Abdullah Bin Husayn in the city of Ma'an and were the first party to do so.

The first stop was at Al-Jizah, the stronghold of Al-Fayez, where Mithqal contributed a thousand rides to follow the party to Amman and establish the focal-point of the Hashemite movement in Jordan there.

This didn't please the inhabitants of much more established towns of Ma'an and Al-Salt who argued that their cities were more appropriate for the Capital of the new Emirate.

[5] King Abdullah I was famously quoted in reference to Khair saying "By God, if the religion allowed for the erection of a memorial statue for him, I would erect a statue for him in the largest square in Amman to immortalize his memory, and glorify his virtues, deeds, and noble services.
