         The study focused on the reasons for the movement of members of this tribe In particular, from the Emirate of Abu Dhabi to the Emirate of Qatar, where three movements were detected between 1835 and 1869, and discussed the attempts of these people to settle in the southern region of the Emirate of Qatar, the study also examined the reasons that led the members of this tribe to return back to the Emirate of Abu Dhabi starting in 1880, and the position of Abu-Dhabi and Qatar towards this return.
        The study also discussed the reflections of these movements in the Qatari-Abu Dhabi relations in light of the international conflict that burned between the British state and the Ottoman Empire, in an attempt by each of them to achieve their own interests. These relationships and where they reached were discussed.
