Crown Prince Saud bin Abdulaziz—later King Saud, may God have mercy on him—ordered the reconstruction of the Riyadh Grand Mosque (Imam Turki Mosque) at his own expense, a full century after the expansion carried out by Imam Faisal bin Turki. This information comes from a detailed article on the mosques of Riyadh written by Sheikh Hamad Al‑Jasser and published in Al‑Bilad newspaper on 11 December 1951
