THE IMAMS OF 'OMAN.
marked the Imam. " None/ , replied the sheikh; " but
this is a serious matter; for what excuse have you for thus
neglecting your subjects ? Is it befitting that we should
pray behind an Imam who disregards the just claims of his
subjects, so that they are left to be injured and oppressed,
and, in this instance, the injurer and oppressor is no other
than the Amir of your garrison in the fort." " This is the
first time I have heard anything of the affair," said the
Imam. To which the other replied : " If you were diligent
in superintending the interests of your subjects such things
would not happen." " Don^t be uneasy on that score," re
joined the Imam ; for, God willing, you will hear by to
morrow what will satisfy you." Thereupon the two separated,
the Imam and his retinue returning to the fort and the
sheikh to his house.
The following day the Imam sent for the Amir and was
very wroth with him, demanding to know what he had done
to the butcher; whereat the culprits tongue faltered, and
he was near dying from sheer fright. The Imam then
ordered him to be bound and beaten, and, further, to pay
the butcher what was due to him. The Amir accordingly
sent to his relations for the amount; and when the money
reached, the Imam sent for the butcher and inquired of
him how much the man who had damaged his meat owed
him. On hearing that he owed him five hundred Mahmudis,
the money was paid, and the butcher expressed his gratitude
to the Imam, praising him for his goodness. He then
went to the sheikh Suleiman-bin-Nasir, told him all that
had occurred, and gave him the money, which the sheikh had
lent him when he first went to him to complain of the Amir.
On the following Friday the sheikh attended the Imam
at prayers, the people of er-Rastak accompanying him as
usual. After prayers the sheikh told the Imam that he was
satisfied with the punishment which had been inflicted on
the Amir, and begged him to release him from his bonds.
