Sender: Sheikh Saleh Bin Saif Al-Ateeqi (Al-Atiqi)
Recipient: His brother (with no name specified). Saleh had several brothers alive at the time.
The Encyclopedia of Islamic Jurisprudence Library in Kuwait, Manuscript No. 991خ. The letter appears on Page No. 11, which is the last page. The manuscript is from the remaining works of Abdel-Rahman Bin Abdullah Bin Saif Al-Ateeqi and includes (in his handwriting) the supplication one makes upon concluding recitation of the Qur’an. There is also another letter addressed to him in his name.
A letter dictated from the sender, then transcribed in the handwriting of Abdel-Rahman Bin Abdullah Bin Saif, whose name appears at the bottom. It seems obvious that the transcriber, who penned the original text of the letter, inserted the title “Sheikh” as well as the words “May Almighty Allah protect him, amen.” It would not be logical for Sheikh Saleh to dictate such words with respect to himself, nor was that known to be his style.
The letter is not dated but appears to have been written after 1206 AH, which is the year in which the sender (Saleh) moved to Al-Zubayr, and before he died there on 13 Rabi’ Al-Awwal 1223 AH (May 9, 1808 AD), because prior to that, Saleh was in Al-Ahsa, which had no need to import the the type of merchandise referenced in the letter from Kuwait.
