From The Muslim Youth Magazine, 10 March 1957, on King Saud

“During the reign of his father, King ʿAbdulaziz, he was the dutiful son, the wise counselor, and the strong right arm.”
May God have mercy on them both.

The article continues:

“Muslims loved him—not only in the Arabian Peninsula, but in every land where the name of God is invoked in the creed of monotheism. He extended his hand to his brothers in Arabhood and Islam; his hand was always with the community. Islam was strengthened by his support, and victory was aided by his faith and his strength. He devoted his life to Arabhood and to Islam.”
