Mehmed Said Paşa was born in Diyarbakır in 1832/33 (AH 1248), into the İslam community, and the father's occupation was "divan kâtibi / vüzera kethüdası". At about 16, in 1848/49, Mehmed Said began work. The first annual entry, for 1848/49, names Mehmed Said as tahrirat odası mülazımı, with no place, with a rise to Mektubi Muavini in 1867/68 and to Mektupcu in 1868/69. Alongside, the lists for 1874 to 1877 give a second post, in Kahramanmaraş as Mutasarrif. Alongside, the lists for 1876 to 1878 give a second post, in Mardin as Mutasarrif. Alongside, the lists for 1877 to 1878 give a second post, in Muş as Mutasarrif. Alongside, the lists for 1878 give a second post, in a post with no place named as ıslahat memuru muavini. Alongside, the lists for 1878 to 1879 give a second post, in Diyarbakır as ıslahat memuriyeti refakati. Alongside, the lists for 1878/79 give a second post, in Siirt as Mutasarrif.

Alongside, the lists for 1881/82 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Tekaüt.
The salary went from 150 kuruş a month in 1848/49 to 11,280 in 1872/73, the peak, as Mutasarrif, when 97 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1891/92.
