THE IMAMS OF 'OMAN.
61
governor ait ol-Ghabby, wont against tliom with Ins soldicis,
and several engagements took place between him and tho
rebels, notably at 'Ajfiyyah, el-'Aliyyah, el-Mat-harah, ez-
Ziyadah and other places, so that the foundations of Islam
were shook thereby, insomuch that many of Muhammad-bin-
Seifs followers abandoned him, and his few remaining ad
herents were surrounded by the. rebels and in danger of
being overpowered. In this strait he retired to the fort oi
el-Ghabby, where he entrenched himself, whilst the enemy
pressed on the siege. News of his situation reaching Mu
hammad-bin-'Aly, the Imam's governor at Makniyat, he
entered el-Ghabby with his followers, unperceived by the
rebels, and falling upon them with spears and swords
hacked them to pieces on all sides. Some of them fled to
es-Sakhbary, and others to el-Fayafy and the town of Yan-
kal, the fort of which was at that time in the hands of N.isii-
bin-Katan, el-Jabry. So God gave the Mussulmans the vic
tory over the rebels.
Then Nasir-bin-Katan opened a treasonable correspondence
with Seif-bin-Muhammad, el-Hinay, who broke faith with
the Imam by listening to his overtures. Accordingly, the
followers of both combined and entered Nezwa, the garrison
of the mansion-house at el-'Akr siding with them, so that
the fort alone held out for the Im^m. This they besieged
closely, and made an attempt to get at the Imam and his
garrison by making an opening through one of the walls ;
but God intervened in behalf of the Imam by sending to his
succour a detachment of men from Azka, some of the J?onu-
Kiyam from the mountains, and reinforcements from Behla.
This timely assistance enabled him to attack the rebels, ovei
whom God gave him a complete victory. The result served
to encourage the Imam and greatly to strengthen his ad
ministration.
After this triumph some of his discreet and trusty ad
herents advised him to raze the fort of Mani '-bin-Sinan,
