of Sai’d al Badi with red hot iron nail but he can still see
a little from one eye. This punishment had unpleasant
repercussions as the Bidah and part of Shihuh have
against the Shaikh of Ras al Khaimah and held some positions
in the Shamil area. They were instigated and greatly assisted
by the Shaikh of Rams who sent his nephew to them with an
offer to become their Amir. One of Dubai merchants named
Hamad bin Majid bin Fitaim, effected a 5-day truce between
both sides and Shaikh Said bin Maktum, Ruler of Dubai, and
his brother Jumah bin Maktum, who volunteered to mediate
