the imams of 'oman.
engagement took place on the 4th of Shawal of the above-
named year.
Outbreaks and conspiracies went on increasing among the
people of 'Oman, and the orders of the Imam were disre
garded by them, for they would not listen to the word of
God, and refused to walk in the footsteps of their righteous
forefathers. Hence their perplexities were multiplied, and
so irresolute were they that no less than sixteen councils
were assembled, at which nothing was decided. At length
what was decreed came to pass. Muhammad-bin-Abi-'l-
Kasim, and Beshir-bin-el-Mundhir, of the Benu-Samah-bin-
Lawa-bin-Ghalib, went to el-Bahrein, which was at that time
under Muhammad-bin-Nur, the agent of el-Mutadhid, 1 the
'Abbaside [Khalifah], to whom they complained of the bitter
dissensions which had arisen among them, begging him to
join them in an expedition against ^Oman, and making him
many promises in the event of his acquiescence. Muhammad-
bin-Niir readily assented to their proposals, but suggested
that they should first repair to Baghdad, and submit them
to the Khalifah in person. Muhammad-bin-Abi-'l-Kasim
accordingly went to Baghdad, but Beshir remained with
Muhammad-bin-Nur. Muhammad, on reaching the Khali
fah el-Mutddhid, submitted the case to him, and after ob
taining an order from him, addressed to Muhammad-bin-Nur,
directing him to proceed against 'Oman, he returned to el-
Bahrein. Thereupon Muhammad-bin-Nur began to collect
troops from all the tiibes, and from the nobility of the en-
Nizariyyah. He also obtained men from the et-Tai of esh-
Sham, so that he was able to set out with a force of 25,000,
of which 500 were horsemen, and an equal number of horse
men clad in coats of mail, with their attendants and baggage.
When intelligence of these proceedings reached ^Oman
the whole country was alarmed, fresh dissensions broke out
among the people and chiefs, who were at their wits' end,
1 El-Mu'tddhid-b'lllah began to reign a.h . 279 = a.d . 892.
