THE imams OF 'oman.
MUHAMMAD-BIN-'AFFAN.
On the death of Juldnda, the Jababarah 1 ruled over ^Oman,
tyrannizing over the people and committing every species of
excess and extortion. Notorious among these were Muham-
mad-bin-Z^yidah and Rashid-bin-Shazan-bin-en-Nadhr, the
Julundites. In their time Ghassan-el-Hinay, who belonged
to the Benu-Muharib, plundered Nezwa and expelled the
Benu-Nafa^ and the Benu-Hamim, after killing many of them.
This happened in the month of Shaaban a.h . 145 [ a.d . 762].
In consequence of this state of things the Benu-Harth 2 en
tered into a confederacy, and one of their number, a slave of
Bikr, named Ziyad-bin-Said, el-Bikry, collected their suf
frages, and it was finally agreed that they should attempt to
free themselves from their oppressors by getting rid of
(Ihassan-el-Hinay. They accordingly waylaid him in a place
called el-Khor, where they fell upon him as he was returning
sick from the Benu-Hinay, and murdered him. Menazil-bin-
Khanbash, who was collector to Muhammad-bin-Zayidah and
Rashid-bin-Shazan, was greatly incensed at this outrage,
and marched forthwith against the people of Ibra, who made
a stout resistance, but were finally overcome with the loss
of forty men.
Eventually God had compassion upon those who adhered
to the truth, and a confederacy of tbe Mussulmans was
formed who stood up for His truth, and succeeded in putting
an end to the government of the Jababarah. The change was
1 That is, Tyrants. The term is used in that sense and under similar
circumstances in a subsequent part of this history.
2 The el-IIarth are located chiefly in south-eastern 'Oman. The Arabs
of Zanzibar belong mainly to this powerful and enterprising tribe. They
appear to be an offshoot of the Benu-Temim, who are still scattered
over the north east of Nejd, from the desert of Syria to the borders of
el-Yamamah. They are probably the descendants of el-Harth, el-'Araj,
...the son of Temim, and therefore of the race of 'Adnan and Ma'add,
the ancestors of Muhammad.
