(3) You sent a party of the 'Mutair' and 'Ajman'
(pro'Daisly meaning settlers of these trices
In Koweit, who acted on "behalf of Salim) who
molested the inhahitants of qaraiyah. Xet you
did not inform me in writing or hy massenger.
(4) You issued a 'prohibition order' in Koweit
stopping all exports to Bin Saud's { my) ports.
(5) You seem to have forgotten that the Mutair were my
suhj ects.
Kindly inform me, May God save you ( Allah Yusal-
limak)on these five points. What would have happened to
those people who were put to serious trouble, if they had
had none to protect them; hut they have hoth a protector
and a ruler, and he is your brother ( myself). In this you
did not treat them with a good policy; you said also that
your action was in accordance with religion. You could
not, if you think thus, know the good from the had. Such
methods as yours can only result in trouble. My subjects
suffered in three ways. They were put to (i) personal
worry (2) uneasiness (3) They were brought to that state
of and doubt which ended in inflaming their religious
fanaticism to such an extent as to make them ready to turn
on any one who provoked or interfered with them, I was
myself extremely surprised to hear of this state of affairs
and at first was in doubt as to the causes that led to
them. Any one, naturally, would wonder what was at the
back of these happenings". (Irfhat are the real facts). Of a
sudden (my irritate4)people found 'DaiJ• marching out
against them, he even reached HAMDTH, and as this action
came on top of the many upsetting happenings (above men
tioned) they (naturally) believed that DaiJ had come out
to attack them. Then followed what God had ordained as
He hath said in the Holy Quran (quotation)
"You cannot form a plan or execute your intention
unless God Himself wills it to be done".
