Dhaidan bin Haithlin

Dhaydan bin Hithlain (; died May 1929) was one of the leaders of the Ajman tribe and Amir of the hijrah (settlement) of Al Sarrar. His full name was Dhaydan bin Khalid bin Hizam bin Hithlain.

Biography The mother of Faisal Al Duwaish, another tribe leader and one of the significant Ikhwan chiefs, was the sister of Dhaydan bin Hithlain. However, after the disputes with Ibn Saud were settled, Dhaydan joined the Ikhwan movement in 1919. Soon he became one of major Ikhwan leaders in addition to Faisal Al Duwaish, Sultan bin Bajad Al Otaibi and Muhsin Al Firm. However, Dhaydan and Muhsin Al Firm were relatively minor Ikhwan figures in contrast to Faisal Al Duwaish and Sultan Al Otaibi. They also shared the regions among themselves, and Dhaydan bin Hitlain assumed the responsibility of Al Ahsa region. However, their plans were not materialized when Ibn Saud's sons, brothers and cousins were given the post. As a result, Dhaydan bin Hithlain and others were removed from their posts in the Ikhwan movement due to their challenge against Ibn Saud's rule. In addition, they were declared by Ibn Saud as rebels on the same date. On 30 March 1929 other Ikhwan leaders rebelled against Ibn Saud due to the latter's activities and fought against him in the battle of Sabilla. Ibn Saud won the battle, and the Ikhwan leaders were arrested or perished. However, Dhaydan bin Hithlain covertly supported the Ikhwan forces, although his forces did not take part in the battle.

After the battle Dhaydan bin Hithlain remained in Al Ahsa.
