In 825 AH (1422) the Sultan al-Ashraf Barsbay appointed Rumaythah ibn Muhammad Emir of Mecca. The latter was in Yemen, however, and nothing came of his appointment. When the amir al-hajj Fayruz al-Nasiri reached Mecca Hasan came out to receive the mahmal as usual, even though he had already received word that he had been deposed. When Emir Fayruz returned to Egypt he delivered Barbay a large tribute from Hasan and spoke well of the latter's governance as Emir of Mecca. Barsbay was appeased and sent Hasan confirmation of his rule.
