Shihab al-Din Ahmad ibn Hajji

Shihab al-Din Ahmad ibn Hajji (c. 1235–1282) was emir of the Al Mira, the dominant Bedouin tribe of the Hauran. He challenged the Mamluk-backed amir al-arab Isa ibn Muhanna and drove the rival Al Fadl out of the Hauran, after which Sultan Baybars recognized his tribe as practically independent.

In the late 1260s he raided Najd and the Hejaz, extorting thousands of camels from Medina, which he restored under sultanic order in 1268. After backing the rebel Sunqur al-Ashqar, he rejoined the Mamluks with some four thousand horsemen at Homs in 1281.
