attack on Kuwait forces in Hamdh on 16 May 1920. Later, in 1920, he led an attack
by the Ikhwan on Kuwait.

Faisal bin Sultan also participated in the capture of Hejaz in 1924–1925, and although he wanted to be the ruler of Madina, the Saudis asked him to leave the region.[4] This incident was one of the reasons for the Ikhwan revolt against Abdulaziz in the next years.[4]

Faisal bin Sultan and other leading Ikhwan leaders did not participate in the meeting held by Abdulaziz in Riyadh in 1928 to settle the conflicts.[4] However, just before the start of the battle against Saudi forces, Faisal bin Sultan met with the Saudis, but it was not a fruitful attempt.[4] He was injured at the 1929 battle of Sabilla, fled Arabia and later surrendered to the British in Kuwait. Sultan was pardoned by his former ruler Abdulaziz upon the request of his sister, Walha.[5] However, he was later jailed in Riyadh where he died in 1931 suffering from an aneurysm.[6]
