Copy of letter dated 3.8th Rabi Thanl 1356 (=27th
June 1937; from Rashid bin Muhammad al Jabur to His
Highness the Ruler of Bahrain,
After Conqaliments,
I beg to inform you that I received your es
teemed letter on Sunday night and noted that we should
not do anything which may be taken as a plea by the
enemy. We are obedient to your orders. But on Sunday
morning some cavalry men raided on the people at iSJL
Thaghb and fired at them feut they did not fire back at
them. They wounded Juma«h bin Mohammad bin Mani» al
Ka , bi. Also a car went to them on SAnday night and
fired at them but they did not fire back at them.
Their highhandedness has now increased and we have
tied up our hands. This is bad for us that our hands
should be tied up and their hands be open to us. As
regards their assault to the said wounded person who
was returning from Thaghb people, the cavalry men over
took him and demanded from him to throw his gun but as
he refused to do so, they fired at him and wounded him.
About this item
- Content
File contains correspondence related to hostilities that occurred between the forces of Shaikh Abdullah bin Qassim Al Thani of Qatar and the Al Naim tribe that took place in June and July 1937.
At this time, the Al Naim tribe was allied to the Al Khalifa ruling family of Bahrain who claimed Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. as a part of their own territory (the family had been based there before their conquest of Bahrain in 1783). The British authorities did not recognise the Al Khalifa's claim to Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. and did not intervene on their behalf. Hostilities ended in July 1937 and Shaikh Rashid bin Muhammad, Chief of the Al Naim tribe, agreed to recognise the rule of the Al Thani family over Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. .
The file also contains a map of Qatar (folio 164) and four aerial photographs of Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. (folios 160-163).
