THE IMAMS OP 'OMAN.
23
and so great was the general consternation that many left
'Oman with their families and property, thereby laying them
selves open to deserved contempt for pusillanimity. Suleiman-
bin-^Abdi-^l-Malik, es-Salimy, with some of his followers,
went to Hormftz, and the people of Sohar went to Shiraz
and el-Basrah, taking their families and goods with them.
In the meantime Muhammad-bin-Nur advanced with his
troops and took Julfar, from whence he marched to Tawwam,
capturing es-Sirr and its neighbourhood, and then started for
Nezwa. ^Azzan-bin-Temim, being abandoned by the people,
left Nezwa for Semed-esh-Shan, and Muhammad-bin-Nur
entered the former town, which surrendered to him at once.
He then marched towards Semed-esh-Shan, and came
up with 'Azzan-bin-Temim in its vicinity, and a fierce en
gagement took place between the two parties on Thursday
the 25th of Safar of that year, and the people of 'Oman were
worsted and put to flight. ^Azzan-bin-Temim was among the
slain, and the country fell into the hands of the conquerors.
It was not that God had changed the people, but they had
changed themselves through their intestine quaiTels, 1 each
party striving for the sovereignty; therefore God gave them
up to be ruled over by their enemies. Thus far the rule of
the Ibadhiyah, from the time they began to govern until the
country was taken from them, had lasted one hundred and
s ^ x ty years, all but a month and twelve days; but God
knows. 2
Muhammad-bin-Nur sent the head of 'Azzan-bin-Temim
to the Khalifah el-Mut&dhid, at Baghdad, and then returned
to Nezwa, where he took up his abode. Thereupon el-Ahif-
bin-Ilimham, el-Hinav, wrote to all the tribes and people of
Oman, urging them to rise up against Muhammad-bin-Nur
1 " God did not change what was in them until they themselves had
changed it." Kurdn, xii, 13.
2 1 he meaning here is that the Ibadhiyah were deprived of the go
vernment over 'Om&n for the time being; they resumed it some time
afterwards.
