On 31st October, 1935, Abdulla bin Jiluv/i, for many
years Governor of Hassa died. The Shaikh of Kuwait and
?
leading members of the Al Subah sent telegraphic messages of
condolence to H.M. the King at Kiath, as well as letters.
Ibn Jiluwi was of the House of Al Saud, his grandfather being
younger brother of the great Faisal, grandfather of the
present King.
He was one of the famous forlorn hope of 20 who taking
their lives in their hand entered Hiath with their Chief Abdul
Aziz and by a remarkable coup de main seized the Town f rom tha
Rachid forces, after slaying their leader, f Ajlan, as he fled
for refuge to the Kut or fort. It was actually Bin Jiluwi 1 s
sv/ord which struck down Ajlan after Abaul Aziz*s spear which he
nurled at the fleeing ‘Ajlan had missed its mark.
Ibn Jiluwi was famed throughout Saudi Arabia for his
courage and loyalty to his madier, also for his remarkable aptitude
for instilling fear into the Badawin, and incidentally for the
heaviness of his hand. Many stories are extant of his Solomon
like justice, and for the fact that he never had the slightest
mercy on an evildoer.
Through the death of Ibn Jiluwi, Bin Saud has lost
a great administrator and faithful supporter, while the
Bedawin world, notably the Ajman are to-day rejoicing and
thanking God for removing a man they considered their greatest
enemy.
