Chronological history of Asir as authoring by Alshaik Mohammad bin Hasan Alhafdhi (died in 1342 AH)

Abstract

Alsheikk Mohammad AlHafdhi wrote about the people of the region، particularly the tribes of RijalAlma’a in facing the Ottoman arbitrariness. He also wrote about how the tribes of RijalAlma’a suffered throughout the Ottoman rule of Asir region such as the military arbitrariness and finance claims that occurred from time to time until the appearance of the rule of Alshareef Mohammad Aladresi. The rule of Alshareef Mohammad Aladresi was found as deterrent from increasing injustice towards them. In addition to that، he wrote about the relationship between the ruler of Asir namely HasanAiydh and the forces surrounding him such as Alshareef Husain in Alhijaz and AlshareefAladresi in AlmiklafAlsulaimani. Both of them want to force his power on the region. After that، the ruler HasanAiydh got into treaties with them and he signed a contract with the ruler of AlmiklafAlsulaimani. The contract ^stipulated that the ruler HasanAiydh would be as the vice of the ruler of AlmiklafAlsulaimani for Asir. However، this contract did not continue very long they had a conflict and the relationship went wrong in all sides. Consequently، King  Abdulaziz intervened and made Asir region under his control/rule as it was previously under the rule of his grandfathers، particularly after the refusal of the ruler HasanAiydh to take over the rule under the name of King Abdulaziz in which the ruler HasanAiydh stayed far away from any political activities. The ruler HasanAiydh later resumed his activity by revolution that ended up with surrendering and going to Riyadh as he died there.
