The adventurous prince left with a force of sixty men in 1901 AD, and was able to seize several provinces in Najd, then took over Al-Qassim in 1905 AD, and continued his efforts by fighting several battles with Sharif Hussein in Hejaz, and entered into a conflict with Yemen, and finally was proclaimed king over Hejaz and Najd. Thus, the land of Hejaz was united again after more than thirteen hundred years.
