Sheikhdom of Diriyah

The Sheikhdom of Dir'iyah (Arabic: مشيخة الدرعية), was a polity in central Arabia from 1446 to 1744 and the predecessor to the First Saudi State.

Othman bin Bishr says in the title of glory in the history of Najd: “Then he was born to Mani'a al-Rabi’a, and he became famous and expanded his possession and fought against the Yazid family, then after that his son Musa appeared, and he became more famous than his father and many of his neighbors from harmony and others took over the king in the life of his father, He deceived his father, Rabi'ah, and wounded him many times, and fled to Hamad bin Hassan Ibn Touq, the head of Al-uyaynah.

Uthman bin Bishr says in the title of glory in the history of Najd: “Then Moses gathered his multitudes of al-ridda and all of his convergence, and the Subuh family of Yazid in al-Naimah and Salaa, killed more than eighty of them and seized and destroyed their homes, and after that he did not stand up for them.

The sources indicate that the reason for this battle was the intensity of crowding between the Yazid family and the people of Diriyah over the springs of water in Wadi Hanifa, and that Musa sought the help of the Emir of Al-Ayyinah, so he found him.
