THE IMAMS OP 'OMAN. 25
Before returning to el-Bahrein lie appointed Ahmed-bin-
Hilal, who resided at Behla, 1 governor over the whole of
^Oman, and placed one el-Bujairah, misnamed Abi-Ahmed, as
his subordinate over Nezwa. The latter was informed one
day that Abu-^l-Hawaryand some of his companions had been
talking about Musa-bin-Musa, whereupon he sent a soldier
to summon him to his presence. The soldier found him in
the mihrdh 2 of the mosque of Ibn-Said, (known as that of
Abu-Kasim)^ belonging to the esh-Shejeby, after the morning
prayer^ reading the Kuran. The soldier having announced
his errand, Abu-'l-Hawary replied: " I have no business
with him," and continued reading. The soldier was asto
nished and felt at a loss what to do, until a messenger arrived
from el-Bujairah directing him not to molest Abu-'l-llawary.
Such was the effect of the blessed Kuran. The soldier is
related to have said that he had called upon Abu-'l -Hawary
to come forth lest the mihrcib should be sprinkled with his
blood.
El-Bujairah continued to rule over Nezwa until the people
rose up against him and killed him. They then dragged his
body and buried it below the gate Mawarr, just within the
valley, by the side of the road leading to Fark, where they
deposit their ashes and rubbish. Thereupon they gave their
allegiance to
SHEIKH MUHAMMAD-BIN-EL-HASAN,
EL-AZDY, EL-KHARUSY,
and shortly after deposed him. Next, they vowed allegi
ance to
'AZZAN-BIN-EL-HIZK,
EL-MALIKY, EL-YAHMADY,
whom they also deposed. Then to
1 Behla, one of the towns of ezh-Zhahirah, a few miles to the north
west of Nezwa.
2 The niche in the wall of a mosque which marks the direction of
