the imams op oman.
of Nezwa, but the latter were dispersed and tlie Awlad-er-
Rais entered the place and burnt itj carrying off all that was
in it, and taking their women captive. They also burnt the
shops attached to the mosque, committing all these outrages
in the course of half a day. But on the first of el-Kaadah of
the same year, Kahlan marched against them with an army
of seven thousand men and entirely routed them and their
allies of the el-Haddan, killing three hundred of them. 1 He
then adds: " Theinterval between Muhammad-bin-Khanbash 2
and Malik-bin-el-Hawary probably exceeded five hundi^ed
years, during which time the administration was in the hands
of the Benu-Nebhan, after whom came the Imams [again],
the former being kings over some portions of ^Oman, whilst
other parts were under the latter." All this, and much
more, I have related in the work to which I have given the
title es-Sahifat-el-KaJdaniyyah.
I shall now proceed to give a few extracts respecting the
Benu-Nebhan, premising that their kings were men of great
renown in ^Oman, who attained pre-eminence by their mighty
acts and successful wars. I shall not attempt to enumerate
all on account of their number, although the reign of each
is conspicuous for some special glory in the annals of
^Oman.
1 This does not seem to have been a foreign invasion but merely an
attack on 'Oman proper by the " descendants of er-Rais," apparently the
name of a tribe, intimately related to the Benu-Nebhan, located in one
of the adjoining provinces.
2 The author has not recorded an Im&m of that name in the preceding
pages; but he mentions a Men&zil-bin-Khdnbash (p. 9) as having been
a collector in 'Oman about a.h . 145. Malik-bin-el-llawary succeeded
to the Imamate, a.h . 809. See p. 36.
