THE IMAMS OF 'OMAN.
lacs
One lakh is equal to one hundred thousand rupees
from the property of the mosques and other religious
endowments. He also attacked and took el-Bahrein 1 , and
none in 'Oman or elsewhere ventured to oppose him. The
people of 'Oman stood in great awe of him. The following
anecdotes illustrate this fact:—One day he went out accom
panied only by his slave Abu-Saidin. When they reached
the rear of Dahas-es-Salimiyyin—others say it was below
et-Tabakah—they saw an Arab mounted on a camel laden
with two baskets of dates, which he was bringing from
ezh-Zhahirah to the market of er-Rastak. Thereupon the
Imam directed his slave to keep back, but to come forward
quickly when he beckoned with his hand. The Imam
carried a small skin of water on his left side; the Arab a
sword and shield slung over his shoulder. When the former
approached the Arab, who did not know whom he was
addressing, the Arab accosted him, saying: " 0 carrier of
the water-skin, give me a drink out of your skin." To
which the Imam replied : " And what if I chose to refuse ;
what would you do then ?" " Why, if Seif-bin-Sultan were
not in existence," rejoined the other, " I would smite you
with this sword." According to another version the Imam
then began to bandy words with the Arab, in order to dis
cover whether he belonged to any of the gangs of professional
plunderers whose outrages were now restrained through fear
of punishment. During the colloquy he made a sign to the
slave, who joined him instantly and began abusing the Arab
roundly, saying: " How dare you contend with the Imam ? "
Jso sooner had the Arab recognized that the free man was
the Imam and the slave his servant, than he cut the ropes
which bound the packages of dates and set off at a gallop,
never stopping until he reached the country of the Benu-

Portuguese and their tributary the "King" of Ilormuz from the latter
island, a.d . 1622, by Shah 'Abbas, aided by an English fleet of five
ships belonging to the East India Company.
