THE IMAMS OF ^OMAN.
139
'Oman was greatly terrified at the number of these for-
eigners, and one of the notable men of the country addressed
the following anonymous letter to Seif-bin-Sultan on the
occasion :—
cc In the name of God, the merciful, the compassionate !
" e Verily, God will not change what is in a people until
they shall change what is in themselves/ ( Surely, as to these
things their eyes are not blind, but the hearts are blind
which are in their breasts/ 1
" Abundant compliments with sincere and candid congra
tulations to the magnanimous, eminent, and noble Seyyid, the
Imam, son of the Imam, of exalted honour, Seif-bin-Sultan,
el-Yaaruby. May God preserve him ! Amen.
" Certain current reports which have been confirmed by
our comrades of the esh-Shamal have given great pain to
the Muslims on all sides, both on your account and their
own, in consequence of which their hearts are in dread and
their minds distracted. The news is, that certain Persians
have reached Fakkan with an army of libertines, whose ima
ginations are filled with, grand ideas, and whose minds the
devil has fired to foster a craving after what is not theirs,
because the profit they made on the goods which they
brought to a free market did not satisfy them. By this time
a portion of them may have reached some parts of^Oman, for
they landed at Fakkan with stores, horses and other animals—
a movement the importance and significance of which cannot
be exaoreerated. ' God is lie from whom ye should seek aid
o o **
in what ye do/ This is a grievous calamity and misfortune
for us and for you; since, if they succeed they will tyrannize—
west of the promontary of Ruus el-Jebel or Mus4iidim,—in the posi
tion now occupied by Abu-Zh&by, (the Abothubbee of Bruckss chart,
see note 2, p. 70,) with which I am inclined to identify it. It was the
nearest and most convenient point of disembarcation for the projected
march of the Persians to el-Bereimy and ezh-Zhahirah.
