Muhammad bin Talal Al Rashid ({{langx|ar|محمد بن طلال الرشيد}} Muḥammad bin Ṭalāl Āl Rašīd; c.1904 – 1954) was the twelfth and last emir of Jabal Shammar in Ha'il. He ruled from August 1921 to 2 November 1921.
Reign
Muhammad began his rule in early 1921, after the reign of Emir Abdullah bin Mutaib ended, which signaled the end of the Emirate of Jabal Shammar. Abdulaziz Al Saud, Emir of Nejd and future King of Saudi Arabia, made it his goal to take over the territory of Jabal Shammar.{{Cite book|author=Daryl Champion|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JIGyrGJflzwC&q=Prince+Muhammad+Al-Talal+Al-Rasheed&pg=PA287|title=The Paradoxical Kingdom: Saudi Arabia and the Momentum of Reform|date=2003|publisher=C. Hurst|isbn=978-1-85065-647-0|language=en}} Emir Muhammad, the people of Ha'il, and the Shammar and Bani Tamim tribes fought several battles against the Al Saud forces, but Abdulaziz was triumphant, and the Emirate of Ha'il (Jabal Shammar) was subsumed into the Saudi state. Ha'il fell to Abdulaziz on 2 November 1921. Afterwards, Muhammad bin Talal moved to Riyadh.
Personal life and death
One of Muhammad's wives was Noura bint Sibhan.{{cite thesis|author=Henri Lauzière|title=On the Origins of Arab Monarchy: Political Culture, Historiography, and the Emergence of the Modern Kingdoms in Morocco and Saudi Arabia |url=https://www.nlc-bnc.ca/obj/s4/f2/dsk2/ftp03/MQ51387.pdf|access-date=25 February 2021|location=Simon Fraser University|page=67|degree=MA|date=2000}} After defeating Muhmmad, Abdulaziz forced Muhammad to divorce Noura so that he could marry her himself. However, Abdulaziz soon divorced Noura. Next, he married Muhammad's daughter Jawaher (born to some other wife, not Noura).
Upon Abdulaziz's insistence, Muhammad's other daughter, Princess Watfa, was married to Musaid bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, a son of Abdulaziz. Thus, the sisters Jawaher and Watfa became mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to each other. A son born to Watfa and Musaid al-Saud, namely Faisal bin Musaid, assassinated Musaid's half-brother King Faisal on 25 March 1975.{{Cite web|date=7 April 1975|title=Saudi Arabia: The Death of A Desert Monarch|url=https://time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,917224-2,00.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100110005520/https://time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,917224-2,00.html|archive-date=10 January 2010|work=Time Magazine}}
