The deceased left behind a fragrant legacy and a rich life, during which he witnessed the unification of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by the founder King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman – may God have mercy on him – and the years extended with him as a witness to the journey of the Saudi state since its inception, through the reigns of his royal sons, up to the era of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz.
