NOTES.
The Tdrisi.
The following extracts are taken from the diary for April
of Captain M. Fazl-ud-din, Medical Liaison Officer with the
Idrisi:—
“ The Idrisi has recently made a will, according to which
he has appointed Seyyid Mustafa as his successor and guardian
of his sons in case he dies before Seyyid Mustafa. The latter, should
he succeed the Idrisi, is to nominate as his successor whichever of
the Idrisi’s sons he considers fit and capable.
“ This will was signed by his Ministers, and the Idrisi
showed it to Seyyid Mustafa in the afternoon of the same day
on which the circumcision of his son was performed.
“ Hassan ibn Ali ibn Mohammed ibn Aidh (see page 98 of
last number) is a shrewd and intelligent young man about
thirty-two years old. He is a fine-looking person, with a small
thickly grown beird, white complexion, large, keen, grey eyes,
and a cheerful expression of the face. He is fairly well educated.
During his week’s stay in Jeizin he deported himself in a very
decorous and self-respecting manner, while his orderlies, sentries,
and the rest of the 400 gendarmes who came with him observed
all the Turkish military discipline. He has 1,000 regulars who
were originally Turkish gendarmes, but are now in his pay.
“ Hassan Ali’s preference of the Idrisi to the Sherif of Mecca
is due to the following :—
“ (1) Under the Idrisi he will enjoy a greater freedom of
action than if he made submission to the Sherif.
“ (2) The great enmity which exists between his sub-tribes
and the Beni Shehr, who are his immediate neighbours and are
under the Sherd’s suzerainty.
“ (3) The preference of the people of Ebhah for the Idrisi.
(4) The advice given to him by Muhieddin
Pasha
An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders.
, late
Governor of Ebhah. This officer consistently advised him to
acknowledge Idrisi as his overlord rather than the Sherif.
[Arab Bureau Note. In spite of our reports to the
contrary, Hassen ibn Ali Aidh’s professions of loyalty to the
Idrisi appear to be of doubtful sincerity: see the report of his
brother’s recent visit to King Husein, page 131 of this
number.]
