据普遍记载，1916 年 6 月 5 日早上，埃米尔·侯赛因 (Emir Hussein) 爬上麦加宫殿的塔楼，用一把老式步枪朝该市的土耳其堡垒方向射击。这是叛乱的信号，到那天结束时，侯赛因的追随者已经对汉志沿线的多个土耳其据点发动了攻击。
(By popular account, on the morning of June 5, 1916, Emir Hussein climbed to a tower of his palace in Mecca and fired an old musket in the direction of the city's Turkish fort. It was the signal to rebellion, and by the end of that day Hussein's followers had launched attacks against a number of Turkish strongpoints across the length of the Hejaz.)
