Muhammad ibn Sa'id ibn al-Sarh al-Kinani (Arabic: محمد بن سعيد بن السرح الكناني), alternatively given as Sa'id ibn Sarh, was a ninth century governor of the Yemen for the Abbasid Caliphate.
A member of the ahl Filastin ("people of Palestine"), Ibn al-Sarh was appointed to the Yemen during the caliphate of al-Amin (r. 809–813). Although little is known of his administration, by the time he left office he had accumulated a large amount of wealth, which he took with him when he departed from the province during the Fourth Fitna. He then returned to Palestine,[1] and is subsequently mentioned as seizing control of al-Ramlah during the chaos of the Fitna.[2]
