He demands his right to the palace. The dispute between them was resolved through mediation that led to peace and agreement. The essence of the agreement is that Mr. Ali will pay Mr. Muhammad Shamabat financial compensation for his right - they are Mr. Muhammad Al-Hassan and Mrs. Fatima - in the palace. As for the share of the remaining sons of Mr. Ahmed, it remained in the possession of Mr. Ali. The dispute over this issue still exists to this day between the sons of Mr. Muhammad Al-Hassan (Kassala), who are Mr. Yassin, Mr. Taha, and Mr. Abdullah, and the sons of Mr. Ali, Mr. Muhammad Othman and Mr. Ahmed. As for Mrs. Fatima, daughter of Mr. Ahmed bin Muhammad Othman II, she has no offspring due to her not marrying.

Financial Aid: The financial aid for the family of Muhammad Othman II was disbursed to Mr. Ali since the Mahdist era on the basis that he was in charge of the family's affairs, while Mr. Ahmed was in Omdurman during that time. After the conquest, the aid continued to be disbursed to Mr. Ali as usual. In 1907, Mr. Ahmed demanded its division, and he promised to do so but did not fulfill his promise. In addition to this, there was a dispute between the two brothers over the income of Qubbat Al-Hassan in Kassala and Qubbat Al-Mahjoub in Bahri. Each of them suffered from the other on the basis that he was not receiving his share of the income. Mr. Ali demanded his share of the income of Qubbat Al-Hassan, and Ahmed demanded his share of Qubbat Al-Mahjoub.

Qubbat Al-Hassan in Kassala: It was built by Mr. Muhammad Othman Al-Aqrab and became a shrine and a destination for disciples and followers. Mr. Ali requested permission from the government to demolish it (the Ansar demolished it during their raids on Kassala). In 1909, it was rebuilt at his expense and the expense of Mr. Ahmed, equally. Mr. Ahmed agreed and asked his brother to come to Kassala himself or appoint a representative. Mr. Ali agreed and informed his brother that he would come after the flood. In 1910, he did not come due to his illness. Mr. Ahmed undertook the construction of the larger part of it alone. The remaining part, the roof, has not been completed to this day. The book "The Sudan under Wingate" states that the English government rebuilt the mosque.
