Emir Mehmed Pasha

In the Ottoman Empire, Muhammad's descendants formed a kind of nobility with the privilege of wearing green turbans.

Seyyid Emir Mehmed Pasha (Turkish: Şerif/Seyyid/Emir Mehmed Paşa), known by the epithet "al-Sharif" among his Arab subjects, was an Ottoman statesman who served as defterdar^[1] (finance minister) (1589–1593, 1595), Ottoman governor of Egypt (1596–1598),^[2]^[3]^[4] and Ottoman governor of Damascus (1599–1600).

He was a descendant of Hussein ibn Ali, earning him the epithet "sayyid." While he was the governor of Egypt (with the title beylerbey, often known as viceroy), he was reportedly a frequent visitor of the Al-Hussein Mosque in Cairo.^[2] In 1599, he became a vizier.^[1]
