THE IMAMS OF 'OMAN.
Sultan-bin-Sakar, and secured his cooperation against Thu-
wainy. Sultan accordingly collected a strong force and
proceeded with it to Shinas, which he besieged for many days.
(The fort there at that time was in the possession of the
Seyyid Said and his son Thuwainy.) In this matter, the Al-
Khariban [?] of the Benu-Naim sided with Kais, while the
Al-Abi-Shamis sided with the Seyyid Said and his son
Thuwainy. The Wahhabis, however, kept aloof and took
no part in the quarrel; for they used to receive the Sohar
Kdnun from Kais, and the Maskat Kanun from the Seyyid
Said, and from Thuwainy whenever his father was absent at
Zanzibar. 1
1 This is the first distinct intimation given by the author of an annual
Kdntin, or Tribute, (in the shape of Zakdt, or Obligatory Alms for reli
gious purposes,) having been paid to the AN ahhabis by Mdskat and Sohar.
It seems highly probable that some arrangement to that effect was made
as early as 1811, when 'Oman was invaded by Mutlak-el-Mutairy, acting
under instructions from Su'ud-bin-'Abdu-'l-'Aziz, the ahhaby Amir of
Nejd, and after the Seyyid Sa'id had appealed in vain for assistance to
the British authorities in India, who " recommended him to grant the
terms of pacification solicited by the AVahabees, if consistent with the
honour and security of the State of Muscat." Bombay Government
Selections, No. xxiv. p. 182. On referring to pp. 324-5 of this History,
the reader will see how 'Azzan-bin-Kais, of Sohar, on that occasion,
" came to terms with Miitlak," and that the Seyyid Sa'id sent him a
u present" of forty thousand dollars in order to secure the country gene
rally from the inroads of the Wahhabis. It is very likely that the pay
ment of this tribute was suspended in 1813, when the AN ahhabis re
ceived a severe check from the tigyptian army. Ibis reverse fol

, of Egypt, who
sent their Amir, 'Abdallah-bin-Su'ud, a captive to Constantinople, where
he was executed. Turky and Faisal, the sons of Su'ud, had partially
reestablished Wahhaby supremacy in Nejd, about a.d . 1828-9, when
Sa'ad- bin-Mutlak, their general, came into 'Oman to avenge his father's
death (p. 345); and according to the Bombay Government records it
was in 1833 that the Seyyid Sa'id, " finding the integrity of his domi
nions seriously menaced, considered it his best policy to form a closer
connection with the Wahhaby chief, and agreed to pay him a tribute
of five thousand German crowns per annum." This History, however,
