THK IMAMS OF 'OMAN.
^ ABD ALL AH-BIN-MUHAMMAD,
EL-HADDANY,
known as Abu-Said, el-Karmaty. 1 Him they subsequently
deposed, and then elected to the Inuimate
BS-SALT-BIN-EL-KASIM.
In the meantime, however, having elected Muhammad-
bin-el-Hasan a second time, they deposed es-8alt. As no
fault was found with the former on this occasion he died
holding the Imamate. Next, they gave their allegiance to
HASAN-BIN-SAID,
ES-SAHTANY,
who died a month after; then to
EL-HAW ARY-BIN-MATRAF,
EL-HADDANY,
in spite of all opposition. He encouraged the profligate and
licentious, and whenever the Sultan 2 came to 'Oman to levy
tribute from the inhabitants, he used to resign the Imamate
and retire to his private house, and the Sultan took no steps
to restrain his tyranny and oppression. On the departure
of the Sultan he used to resume the Imamate, saying to
those around him : " the government belongs to God, and
> El-K drmaty, that is, belonging to the sect of the Karamitah. A
short account of their history and tenets is given in a succeeding note.
2 The author being of the Ibadhiyah sect very rarely gives the title
of " Khalifah" to the sovereigns of the Muslim empire, evidently through
fear of being supposed to recognize them as legitimate Successors of
Muhammad, which the Ibadhiyah deny.
By the Sultan coming to 'Oman probably nothing more is meant than
that he sent a representative into that country. The " Sultan of Bagh
dad" specially indicated was either el-Muktafy-b'llluh or el-Muktadhir-
b'lllah, successors to el-Mu'tadhid, a.d . 902-932.
