Saud as was thought he would be proceeded to join the Ajman in middle Hassa.
There is little doubt that he changed his mind as a result of the incident men
tioned in the succeeding paragraph.
On the 30th April came the act of treachery by which Dliaidan ibn Hath! a in
lost his life and Which definitely threw the Ajman into open rebellion against Bin
Saud.
Ibn Jaloui had a force camped at Awaina in Hassa, under his son Fahad.
This worthy invited the aged Dhaidan to come and see him and discuss a message
he had to deliver from Bin Saud for him. He gave him a full safe conduct in
writing. On Dhaidan arriving with 3 attendants he was received well but when
he subsequently desired to leave, he was seized and put in irons. The Ajman
who were camped close by, and who had opposed their chief’s going in the first
lace, were incensed when they received the news of what had happened, parti
cularly as they interpreted a volley which they heard from Fahad^s camp as their
leaders execution. A force started off at once under Hazam al-Hathlain and
rushed Fahad al-Jaloui’s camp in the early hours of 1st May.
Fahad seeing the day lost, with his own hands cut the throat of Dhaidan,
and then was himself slain by a young Ajmi who seized the bridle of his horse as
he was trying to escape and shot him through the head.
The casualties in Bin Jaluwi’s force were very heavy. Practically all his
men were townsmen of Hoffuf and these all were put to the sword. . Some
Bedouin irregulars of Ibn JalouFs were not touched nor did they join in the
fight.
Naif al-Hathlain known as “ Abal Kilab ”, was subsequently recognized as
paramount Shaikh of the Ajman.
The news of the above events spread like wild fire and caused a deep stir
throughout North Eastern Arabia, and local sentiment veered round against Bm
Baud from this date.
In the meantime, Faisal al-Duwish abandoned by Bin Saud m his village of
Artawiveh and believed to be dying, was slowly recovering, though he made out
by a scries of clever ruses to make the world believe that there was no hope and
it was onlv a question of time for his death to be reported.
Ibn Humaid was in prison in Riath. Early in May the Ajmah under Naif
ihn Hathlain moved up to and camped at Wafra with Farhan ibn Mashur. Ihe
Aiman now being in virtual rebellion the Shaikh of Kuwait was early m . o'
