Sheikh Jaber bin Abdullah (Arabic: جابر بن عبد الله; Jaber I or Jaber Al-Aish; 1772 – 1859) was the third ruler of Kuwait, governing from 1814 to 1859. He was the eldest son of Abdullah bin Sabah who he succeeded upon Sheikh Abdullah's death.
The British had requested that Bin Abdullah allow them to turn Kuwait into a protectorate, he refused.
Nicknamed Jaber Al-Aish, Bin Abdullah was said to have generously given rice and bread to the poor.
He was succeeded by his eldest son Sabah II Al-Sabah.[1]
