Sheikh Farhan al-Saadi (circa 1862 – 27 November 1937) was a Palestinian rebel commander during the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine. He participated in national conferences and demonstrations against the British Mandate of Palestine, and in the 1929 Palestine riots. He is thought to have been the first to use a weapon during the revolt.[1]

Sa'adi was at one point imprisoned by the British authorities. When he was released from prison, he moved to

Ramadan fast.[1][5]
