Sa'id Pasha al-Mufti (Arabic: سعيد المفتي; Adyghe: Хьэбжьокъуэ Сайд; 26 June 1898 – 25 March 1989) was the 9th Prime Minister of Jordan and a Jordanian political figure of Circassian origin. Said Pasha received Emir Abdullah with a few Jordanian Sheikhs, when he came to Jordan and was leading the Great Arab Revolt against the Ottoman rule.
Al-Mufti served three terms as the Prime Minister of Jordan between 14 April 1950 and 1 July 1956. Al-Mufti lived in Jabal Amman, an elite area of the capital Amman; his house became known for its architecture and was later dubbed Al-Mufti House.
Al-Mufti was an independent politician, serving in several governments as interior minister (1944–1945, 1948–1950, 1951–1953 and 1957).[1] He was Minister of Finance in 1945.[2] He served as the President of the Senate of Jordan from December 1956 to July 1963 and from November 1965 to November 1974.[3]
In his honor a main street in the Sweifieh area of Amman was named "Sa'eed al-Mufti Street", where the Embassy of Bosnia and Herzegovina is located.[4]
