St at eiJient made by Shaikh Rashid bin Muhammad,,
Chief of Nairn tribe. Recorded in the Palace at Bah
rain on the 13th July 1937.
We had at Thsghab in the Qasar 40 armed men.
A messenger came from them saying that they were fear
ful and that they wanted camels and water be sent to
them so that they should ride and come to us. We sent
S6 men mounted on camels and four horsemen as guards
in order to bring them. When they reached near the
Qasar Shaikh Abdullah's arn^y appeared. They were in
cars and on horses (4 cars and about 30 Norsemen) and
more than 250 camel riders. When our people saw Shaikh
Abdullah's folloirers, they returned and did not go to
the Qasar. On their return the cars and the horsemen
overtook them so they were obliged to make their camels
kneel down. Shaikh Abdullah's men fired on them and
killed four men among them was ny buother Hamad bin
Mxhammad. They also killed 4 horses, wounded three men
and killed 24 camels. Then they captured the Qasar and
demolished it. They also occupied the towns (Faraihah,
Arish, Akhdai^ Qasr al Thaghab and Khuwair) took away
all the foodstuff and plundered those who were from our
followers, such as al Akbesah and Bu Ka'aban, carrying
away their clothes, mattings, pots, cows, donkeys and
the hair tents. They also tool? away the sails and the
ropes of the boats. Afterwards Shaikh Abdullah marched
and halted near Morair fort which belongs to

One of the Arabs (Hasa' bin Khalil, Shaikh Hamad's man)
wrote asking him (Shaikh Abdullah) to refrain from shed'
ding the blood of the Muslims and also from demanding
anything from them. He (Shaikh Abdullah) then sent a
letter with his brother saying that he wanted to see me

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).
