His rule after replacing Muhammad ibn Awn in 1851 was characterized by pro-slavery and anti-Ottoman riots. He was pro-slavery and led riots, in this contest he struggled with Vali Kâmil Pasha's enforcement of anti-slavery law and Awn's supporters. On 15 or 17 November 1855, Awn's reappointment was announced in Jeddah; al-Muttalib rejected this, raising his supporters and allegedly requesting Beduin chiefs assist him. Awn was reinstalled on 17 April 1856, but the fighting continued until al-Muttalib was captured in May and sent to Constantinople.
