Yahya ibn Surur ibn Musa‘id (Arabic: يحيى بن سرور بن مساعد, romanized: Yaḥyá ibn Surūr ibn Musā‘id; died c. 1838) was a sharif of the Zayd clan who served as Sharif and Emir of Mecca from 1813 to 1827.[1]
Muhammad Ali Pasha appointed Yahya to replace his uncle Sharif Ghalib ibn Musa'id in late Dhi al-Qi'dah 1228 AH (November 1813). The imperial firman (proclamation) and khil'ah (robe of honor) were sent from Istanbul, dated Rabi al-Awwal 1229 AH (February/March 1814).[2]
He was deposed by Muhammad Ali in Dhi al-Qi'dah 1242 AH (May/June 1827).[3] He settled in Cairo with his family and died in 1254 AH (1838/1839).[4]
