Izz al-Dīn Abū Sanad Jammāz ibn Shīḥah ibn Hāshim al-Ḥusaynī (Arabic: عز الدين أبو سند جماز بن شيحة بن هاشم الحسيني) was the Husaynid Emir of Medina from 1259 to 1300/1 or 1302/3, and likely as co-emir or at least deputy of his brother Munif from 1251/2 on. He ruled, with a brief interruption in 1267/8, until 1300/1 or 1302/3. In the 1270s anengaged, he engaged in repeated attempts to capture the rival Emirate of Mecca to the south from its ruler, Abu Numayy Muhammad ibn Abi Sa'd. He succeeded briefly in 1271 and again in 1288, but was able to hold the city only for a few months. Incapacitated by blindness and advanced age, he handed over power to his son, Mansur, before dying in November/December 1304.
