large force by land and sea; these he encountered near
Barkah and there was a fierce engagement between them.
Then Muhammad-bin-Nasir joined Rahmah-bin-Matar with
the main body. Rahmah's followers possessed guns which
were drawn over the ground; the men attached to these
guns were ordered to fire on the boats occupied by KhalPs
people, and the shot reached the sea, scattering them and
killing many, and forcing Khalf to retire into the fort of
Barkah for safety. In the mean time, Muhammad^s followers
were busy slaying or taking prisoners all KhalPs retainers
they could lay their hands on; the remainder who escaped
took refuge in the fort. Then Muhammad went with his
force and occupied the mountain of the Benu-^Amir, where
he encamped and laid siege to the forts of es-Sib and
Barkah ; but Khalf managed to escape by night and took a
boat to Maskat, while Muhammad-bin-Nasir kept patrolling
from Barkah to es-Sib and Bushir, in the hope that Khalf
would offer him battle; but the latter did not venture to do
so, because his followers were few compared to those of
Muhammad. So Muhammad and his men continued to be
siege the garrisons of Khalf in the forts of Barkah and es-
Sib for the space of four months.
When their provisions were expended Muhammad re
turned with them to er-Rastak and remained there. He
dismissed Rahmah-bin-Matar and all the people of ezh-
Zhahirah whom he had collected together, and was then
seized with small-pox, which covered his whole body and
nearly caused his death. After God had restored him to
health he proceeded to ezh-Zhahirah, leaving Muhammad-
bin-Nasir, el-Harasy, as Wali over the fortress of er-Rastak,
associating with him the Sahibs of Behla, and Sinan-bin-
Muhammad-bin-Sinan, el-Mahdziir, el-Ghafiry. The latter
occupied the castle, and the former all the other forts,
besides acting as Wali over er-Rastak on behalf of Muham
mad-bin-Nasir.
