Description: Aḥmad Jabar Allāh sent a brother, Aḥmad walad Idrīs to Adūbana to buy grain and have it brought back to the island. However, no merchant came and the sum of money remained unused.

Because of the importance of this sum of money, Aḥmad Jabah Allāhand and those with him came to the recipients of the letter to initiate the return of the money from the island.
