Eight minutes after the hour-mark, Saba cemented his side's lead when he picked up the ball inside the penalty area, before curling a left-footed effort into the back of the net.
Four minutes from time, Thomas Olsen reduced the deficit when Cheickna Doumbia's strike was saved by Al Nasr goalkeeper, before Olsen pounced on the rebound into the empty net.
The result means Al Nasr sit sixth with 32 points, while Shabab Al Ahli remained fifth with 33 points.
