his son-in-law Kasib. These individuals, according to tradition, belong to a
tribe of the Muhammareh district which was compelled to emigrate by the
encroachments of the Ka’b and settled on the Tigris under the name of A1
Husain Pasha An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders. . Muhaisin and Kasib with some followers, having purchased
land in the neighbourhood of the modern Muhammareh from the Ka’b,
eventually returned to settle near the original seat of the tribe, and the
headship of the tribe which they founded remained in the family of Kasib.
Haji Yusuf-bin-Mardau, a descendant of Kasib, ultimately became Gov
ernor of Muhammareh on behalf of the Ka’b Shaikh and his son Haji Jabir
was Shaikh of Muhammareh when it was occupied by British troops in 1857 :
his usual residence before that date had been at Daiji in Turkish territory.
After the peace between Britain and Persia, Haji Jabir was made independent
of the Ka’b Shaikh by a Persian prince, the Ihtisham-ud-Dauleh who
governed the province ; and after the Ka’b Shaikh had been captured and
sent to Tehran, the Fallahiyeh district was added to Haji Jabir’s dominions.
Constant fighting ensued between the Muhaisin and the Ka’b, in which the
Dris section of the Ka’b inhabiting ’Abbadan island sided with the
Muhaisin.
In 1860 Zia-ul-Mulk, the Persian Governor of ’ Arabistan, countenanced
the Ka’b party, and the result was the seizure and temporary removal of
Haji Jabir to Tehran ; two years later, however, having been released, he
was reinstated with the title of Nusrat-ul-Mulk by Prince Farhad Mirza,
the new Persian Governor. From this time onwards the Ka b Shaikhs
have never been entirely free of Muhaisin control. Haji Jabir died in 1881 :
his successes were largely due to the fighting qualities of his son ’Isa, who
pre-deceased him.
Haji Jabir was succeeded byhis sonMizalwho, by playing off one pretender
to the Shaikhship of Fallahieh against another, and by putting in first one
rival and then another as Shaikh, succeeded in becoming paramount chief
of the Muhaisin and Ka’b tribes. The hereditary Yali of Hawizeh, who
formerly ruled the whole country between the Karun and the Tigris rivers,
also iell under the power of Mizal; his authority, exercised subject to control
from Muhammareh, is now hardly felt outside the town of Hawizeh. Mizal
received from the Persian Government the title of Mu’izz-ul-Seltanah. He
fell a victim in 1897 to a conspiracy organised by his cousin Salman-bm-
Mansur, to which most of the tribal Shaikhs were privy. Khaz’al, the
youngest and only surviving son of Haji Jabir, succeeded his brother. The
title of Mu’izz-ul-Saltaneh was continued in his favour, and to it was sub
