Hassan, surnamed Ahu Saied, was of low
origin. He introduced the heresy of the Karmes-
tians. Having gone to Bahrein on mercantile business, he
preached to the people of Arabia, and great numbers followed
him; and he acquired such power that he defeated armies, and
took a castle from the people of Oman, and seized some
towns of Arabia; but was at last slain.
Selman hen Hassan was a man who went
into the road of the hadjes, or pilgrims going to Mecca, and
robbed and slew them : and at last proceeded to such lengths,

and brought to Shiraz; they were kept a while in confinement;
but, being men of good character, were not made responsible for
his offences.
