Kheir-Eddin al-Zarkali recalled in his book 'the Arabian peninsula in the era of King Abdulaziz," that one day king abdulaziz smiled when he was meeting with Sheikh Noori al-Shalaan, the leader of the tribes of al-Rola. Later, King Abdulaziz told Noori that those who are sitting near you were my enemies. Noori replied: it was your sword, but King Abdulaziz added 'no it was not the sword, but I respected them and treated them like members of al-Saud."
