The Naqjb of Basrah immediately before 1874 was 'Abdur Rahman, Family of
who died in that year and was succeeded by his brother Saiyid the Naqib of
Muhammad Sa'id; on the death of the latter, in 1896, the Niqabat Basrah,
il passed to his son Saiyid Bajab, the present Naqib, by whom the active
duties of the Niqabat had been discharged during the last six years of
his father's life. The most prominent ^ members of Saiyid Kajab's
family were, until lately, his brother Saiyid Ahmad and his son Saiyid
Talib. Saiyid Ahmad, however, died in 1908.
The last Naqib, Saiyid Muhammad Sa'id, received a decoration from p o iiti 0 al em-

Talib were employed to mediate in an imbroglio between the Amir of
Jabal Shammar and the Shaikh of Kuwait, which occurred on the borders
of Turkish ; Iraq; and towards the end of 1901 the Naqib himself, Saiyid
Rajab, was twice sent to Kuwait to recall the Shaikh of that place to a
sense of his duty towards the Sultan of Turkey. In June 1902 Saiyid
Talib was appointed Mutasarrif of Hasa; he was recalled in 1903 on
account of an incident of his administration which is described in the history
of Hasa, but he seems to have retained the appointment, in name at least,
until 1905. At one time he was considered a likely candidate for the
Waliship of Basrah. Saiyid Talib was apparently, at this time of his
life ; an ardent pan-Islamist.t
