Bhailch Hamad hin Isa, eldest son of Siler of Bahrein
called upon me yesterday i^ith 3heikh Jumaa of I3ahal, Both
spoke very deepairin^y of Bin Baud and the Ikhwan.
Sheikh Hamad reported the latest madness ( as he call-
ed it )of Bin Baud was that he had issued strict orders to
Bin Jilovi, Bmir of Hassa that in future the Bhiahs of
Hassa and Qatif were to he forbidden to hold religious read
ings (QARAIXAHS) in their Husseiniyehs and that at Muharram
all cer®aonies in connexion with the death of Hussein were
to he banned. "The order**, said Bheikh Hamad, had created
the greatest consternation and fury among Hassa and Qatif
Shiahs. Unless the order were rescinded, Bhaikh Hamad fcfaanarg
thought rebellion was sure to follow. Certainly an appeal
to Great Britain would be made t^Bhiahs. It w^s a similar
policy in Paisal f s time that brought about Turkish inter
vention in Hassa, and now Bin Baud was mad enough to try
and imitate his grandfather f s mistake.
Bheikh Jumaa spoke in similar strain saying how alarm
.
od the people of Dabai were at Bin Saud^ increasing power
Bheikh admitted that near Basalt Khainah there existed a
strong Wahhabi centre today. These were in direct communi
cation with Bin Baud, and were becoming a menace to the
peace of the
Trucial coast
A name used by Britain from the nineteenth century to 1971 to refer to the present-day United Arab Emirates.
.
Sheikh Hamad further reported that a section of the
AJman had been bribed by Bheikh Balem to leave ibn Hath-
lajb^s camp and go into Koweit territory. See my
