Abdallah ben Moutaïb Al Rachid

Prince Abdullah Al-Mutaib Al-Rasheed (1906–1946) (known as Abdullah II; ) was the 11th Emir of the Emirate of Jabal Shammar, from 1920 until 1921.

Biography He was a prominent member of the al-Rashid dynasty and son to Emir Mitab II. His father, Mutaib, served as Emir for nine months in 1906, before being killed alongside his brothers by Sultan bin Hammoud Al Rashid. At the end of March 1920, his cousin, Emir Saud ibn Abd al-Aziz, was assassinated by his cousin Abdullah ibn Talyah, who was shot dead by one of the emir's servants. Abdullah bin Mutaib would succeed him as Emir, at the age of 13, but members of the Al Sabhan family would rule on his behalf. At this time, Muhammad ibn Talal, the governor of Al-Jawf, swore allegiance and promised to defend Ha'il. However, Abdullah, who had no faith in it, ordered that Muhammad be arrested and sent to prison. The inhabitants of Ha'il managed to defend their leader and they continued to hold the siege, which was accompanied by small skirmishes.

Soon the hierarchy released Muhammad ibn Talal from prison and overthrew Abdullah. Abdullah bin Mutaib lived in exile in the city of Riyadh until his death in 1946.
