[5][4] Rakan fell in love with a daughter of Amer bin Jafn Al Safran whose name is unknown.
Hizam spent about fifteen years as the leader of the Ajman tribe, then relinquished his leadership in 1859 to Rakan because of his old age.
mentions the capture took place after 1882, but this contradicts the evidence of his participation in the Serbian–Turkish war while he was imprisoned in Niš in 1878.
At the beginning of the month of Dhul-Hijjah in 1288 AH, Rakan camped with about 400 men near the city of Hofuf at a water well called Ain al-Sulaimani asteroid.
The governor issued a message requesting any person owing Rakan more than 10 French riyals to announce themselves before the beginning of the new Hijri year and to return the money to him, otherwise the reports would not be considered.
Rakan was imposing on the Ottoman Empire at Kharjah, in order to provide safety for its trade convoys that were traveling between the Arab tribes.
This was inconvenient to the Ottoman leaders, so they planned with the person responsible for the delivery of Kharjah to Rakan to arrest him.
They then sent him by sea to the capital of the Ottoman Empire, Istanbul, before exiling him to a castle in Niš for a period of no less than seven years.
Ibn Firdous mentioned that the Ottomans appointed servants for Rakan including somebody who would make him coffee, among whom was Hamza al-Othmani.
Rakan, following the battle from the roof of the prison, called Hamza to have him inform the governor that he could kill the Serbian knight.
They offered to have him stay with them and raise his status and give him a position, but he preferred to return to his tribe.
Other sources mention that he died in Shawwal in the year 1314 AH/1897 CE, in reference to the last salary that the Ottomans paid him.
