Albu Muhammad. Secretary of Shaikh Shawwai. Relations with him have been
satisfactory.
SA'DtN, ‘ABBAS IBN KHALID IBN SALIH.
Has lands in the Ibrahim country near Hassunah, but they are occupied by the
Ibrahim, who take all the produce and give him no rent. He does not venture to go there
because of the hostility of the tribe. Some property also at Kutaibah, much injured by
the high floods of 1915-16. He spends the greater part of the year in the desert between the
Gharraf and the ‘Afaj country with his camels and flocks.
A man of 40 or 50, sharp featured, more like a Badu than a landed proprietor in dress
and appearance. Came in to see the C.P.O. in August, 1916, but had visited him before.
With him came Thamir ibn Sa'dun ibn ‘Assaf ibn Salih and Paris ibn Badr ibn Sattam
ibn Badr, both Al Sa'dun.
SA'DtN, ‘ABDUL ‘API AL SULAIMAN.
Of Hai. Came in in January, 1917. He has four sons, Bandar, q.v., Paris, Mishari and
‘Umar. He has been reinstated in some of his lands.
SA'DtN, ‘ABDUL 'AZIZ IBN HUSAIN IBN MANStR.
Property in Harthah, Qulyan, and on the Gharraf at al Buwaidhah in the hands of
the ‘Umai'an (Al bu Salih) not far from Nasiriyah. His son Saif, a boy under 20, looks
after the Harthah property.
SA'DtN, ‘ABDUL ‘AZIZ AL RASHID.
Near Suq. His son ‘Assaf was wounded a few days before the battle of Shu'aibah,
taken prisoner and sent to India. ‘Abdul ‘Aziz came to Basrah in October, 1916, to make
enquiries as to his whereabouts. A man of about 50 with a deep sword cut across his left
cheek. Dignified and pleasant mannered. He cannot recover rents from the tribes who
farm his lands near Suq, and asked us to advance him money on them. He has property
in Harthah in the lands known as Oa'al Rashid, his estate being at the tail of the Mujai-
dariyah and the Jirhan canals. He and Haji ‘Abdul ‘Ali al Rashid are the only Rashid left
in the Oa‘. The rest of the land has passed into the hands of the heirs of Falih al Sa'dun.
He and his humulah have property in common round ‘Akaikah and near Suq. (The
Rashid are an offshoot of the Sa'dun springing from Rashid al Shabib. Shabib was the
grandfather of Sa'dun and the great grandfather of Thamir, from whom the main branch
known as Al Sa dun are descended.) ‘Abdul ‘Aziz and his brother ‘Abdullah have a strong
family group one mile from Suq, where about 25 members of the family reside. They
claim a wide extent of land there and have had many bitter fights with the Mujarrah and
Bani Khaiqan tribesmen. All the Rashid clan have behaved well under our administration.
SA'DUN, ‘ABDUL ‘AZIZ IBN SULAIMAN AL MANSUR.
Cousin of Ajaimi, always well inclined to us. After the occupation of Basrah he
and his brother wrote to the C.P.O., but they did not at that time come in. The Turks
forced them to fight at Shu aibah ; after the battle they returned to Suq, wrote to us and
came in. They stayed some time in Basrah and went back to Suq and Nasiriyah. Their
property is between Nasiriyah and Shatrah. It is now occupied by the Khafajah. Their
father Sulaiman frequently attempted in Turkish times to get into relations with the
English. Abdul Aziz has gardens in Nasiriyah which were much ruined by our troops
SA'DUN, ‘ABDUL HADI AL RASHID.
A member of the Rashid clan, near Suq, in the group collected round ‘Abdul ‘Aziz al
Rashid. Like his relation, Badr, he lives much in tents, roaming with his camels. A
good type of Beduin Sa'dun.
