expelled by his brother Sa'ud, ao-ain found an asylum in Shammar terri

to Riyadh. A little later he detached the district of Sadair and a part of

t e £ ^ ^habis failed in an attempt to retake Sadair ; and the re-
C0 ^ Bur aidah by the Wahhabi commander Muhammad-bin-Sa'ud
in IbHo was only temporary. From 1884 onwards the Shammar Amir
possessed a decided advantage in the field.
