THE IMAMS OF 'OMAN.
to Azka that place surrendered at discretion, and lie ex
pelled the Wali. This took place in the month of Dzul-
Kaadah of the same year.
Yaarnb subsequently set out from Nezwa with his
followers and the Benu-Riyam and the Kadhi ^Adiy-bin-
Suleiman, ez-Dzahly, and came to Azka. Its inhabitants
received him gladly and entertained him with feasting, and
declared, moreover, that they were for him—loyal to God
first, then to him. Thereupon Yaarub summoned Malik-
bin-Seif to evacuate the fort; on his refusal, Yaarub com
menced hostilities by opening fire upon him with two guns.
At this juncture the soldiers of the Benu-Hinah, headed by
the Sahib-el-'Anbur 1 of the people of er-Rastak arrived, and
falling upon YaaruVs force routed them and obliged him
to return to Nezwa. Meanwhile the sheikh 'Adiy-bin-
Suleiman had set out for er-Rastak. On his arrival there he
was seized by BelaraVs officers, who bound him and also
the Kadhi Suleiman-bin-Khalfan, and then killed them
both; whereupon the people of er-Rastak dragged their
bodies through the streets like dead cattle. This took place
on the day of the great Hijj of the same year.
Then the Sahib-el-'Anbilr and many other persons went
to Nezwa and begged Yaarub to quit it in order to save
further bloodshed. He eventually yielded to their entreaties,
on condition that he should be allowed to go to the fort
of Yabrin and there be unmolested. Having received their
pledge to that effect he quitted Nezwa, (whereupon his
Imamate came to an end,) and set out for Yabrin, the Sahib-
el-'Anbur taking possession of the castle of Nezwa, from
which he ordered a salute to be fired, and proclaimed the
Imamate of
the coast. Captain Hamerton, who styles them " Rawaheeyah," esti
mated their number fifteen years ago at five hundred. Bombay Govern
ment Selections, No. xxiv. p. 240.
1 The Master of the Barbican. It appears from some descriptive
remarks in the sequel that the 'Anbiir at er-Rastak was a fortified man
sion built on or adjoining the town walls.
