"Went to 'Asir in 1926 and was reported late in that year to be running Hasan '
al-Idrisi in company with Ahmed es-Senusi and Mustafa al-Idrisi. Was reported
in 1927 to be an Italian agent, trying to undermine Ibn Sa'ud's position in 'Asir. #^
Re-employed later in the Hejaz. Was serving in the Amir Faysal's household ^
early in 1931 as a sort of chamberlain, and was then scandalously spoken of as ^ders
M. le Procureur. Accompanied the Turkish Prince Ahmed Tewhid to India,
with the permission of Ibn Sa ud, in May 1931. Travelled a good deal after
wards, posing as Minister of War in the Sa'udi Government. He appeared in ^
Jerusalem in November 1931 and played an ambiguous part in connexion with the "
then impending Moslem Congress. Whether he eventually attended it or not is
not known in Jedda. Returned to India in June 1932 and continued alone the
propaganda in favour of the pilgrimage which he and Prince Ahmed Tewhid
had initiated in 1931. In a secret report from India of February 1933, he is
stated to have expressed in one quarter the intention of enlisting Indian Moslem -
interest in Ibn Sa'ud's claim to "Aqaba. Returned to the Hejaz for the 1933 it
pilgrimage.
