Letter from al-Majdhūb Abū Bakr to ʿUthmān Diqna

Collection: nationalrecordsoffice.mahdia
Description: The secretary of the treasury informs ʿUthmān Diqna that fifty camels carrying ivory, accompanied by fifty men from the awlād al-ʿarab (Westerners) and the jihādiyya (slave soldiers) have arrived to Tūkar. They carried letters from Omdurman, stating that the administration in Tūkar should help them. Three days later, three letters arrived in the post from Berber. The letters explained that a man named Yūsuf Sulaymān has been appointed to fight the contraband ivory. The second and third letters deal with a smuggler name Muṣṭafā al-Nāʾim. As it happens, the latter was in Handūb, the other Mahdist station in Eastern Sudan. They arrested him, and seized the ivory in Tūkar, and are awaiting for Yūsuf Sulaymān’s confirmation that it is legal. 05/08/1307

Letter from Majdhūb Abū Bakr to ʿUthmān Diqna

Collection: nationalrecordsoffice.mahdia
Description: This, and the next nine letters (NRO-M001136 to NRO-M001145), are all dated from 5 Shaʿbān 1307, written by Majdhūb Abū Bakr to ʿUthmān Diqna. One might wonder why would one write ten letters on the same day. The answer is given in NRO-M001137. This letter gives information on the whereabouts of the post, confirms that they know he is on his way back, and states that Abū Qarja has not received any letter from ʿUthmān Diqna, and wonders if it may have been delayed or lost. 05/08/1307

Letter from ʿUthmān Diqna to the Khalīfa

Copies of three successive letters on the dispute between Ḥamad al-Nīl and ʿUthmān ʿAlī,

Collection: nationalrecordsoffice.mahdia
Description: This document is a copy of three letters. The first one presents the case and its resolution. Ḥamad al-Nīl claims that before his departure for Omdurman, he had left a deputy with his banner. Upon his return, he realised that another deputy had been appointed instead. He petitioned the Khalīfa for the prejudice this caused to him. When the Khalīfa communicated the petition to the umanā (delegates), they first asked ʿUthmān ʿAlī to answer to Ḥamad al-Nīl Ḥāmid's accusation. He produced a letter with his seal stating that Ḥamad al-Nīl had left without appointing a deputy for his banner, but that he himself had been appointed by Yūsuf Idrīs before ʿUthmān Diqna and this had been confirmed by the Khalīfa. Until Ḥamad al-Nīl Ḥāmid’s return from Omdurman, there was no issue in this banner. But when the latter came back, he found out about the new situation. A party of anṣār came to him and forced him to separate his group and form another banner. Then Ḥamad al-Nīl Ḥāmid was also asked to produce a statement on what had happened with ʿUthmān ʿAlī and he maintained his allegation. Eventually, both of them were visited by the ʿāmils, ʿamīrs and umanāʾ and an agreement was found between them. The second letter was sent from al-Ṭāhir al-Majdhūb, al-Shafīʿ Aḥmad Raḥma and Ismāʿīl Aḥmad to Ḥamad al-Nīl Ḥāmid and ʿUthmān ʿAlī. The umanāʾ (delegates) stated that they were witnesses to the agreement between the two protagonists. They also scolded them for having raised the matter directly to the Khalīfa without first going to the ʿāmils ʿUthmān Diqna and Abū Qarja or the umanāʿ. In the third letter, written by Ḥamad al-Nīl Ḥāmid and ʿUthmān ʿAlī, they confirm that the dispute between them has been resolved. After 13/08/1306
