and did not communicate his secret except to his most
intimate friends, and to them only in part. So he became
very liberal to the people of ^Oman, and took to interceding-
in behalf of those whom his father intended to wrong, to
remonstrate with him on his improper proceedings, and to
associate with the learned and devout. This course proved
eminently successful, for in time the people of 'Oman began
to prefer him to his father, and became strongly attached to
him. It is probable, moreover, that some of the chiefs of
'Oman gave him to understand privately, that if he attempted
to assume the government and authority then held by his
father they would obey him without hesitation. To all these
overtures ho used to reply; " That cannot be: you must
apply to some one else; the bare mention of such a thing
is loathsome to me; moreover, all the people of 'Oman are
deceitful and are not to be trusted." Afterwards, however,
he used to send presents to those who had made the sug
gestions. He was always on the watch for a favourable
opportunity to usurp his father's authority, and thought he
had found one when hostilities broke out between the people
of el-Yamn and the Nizar, the inhabitants of Azka. As the
war between these parties was prolonged, Hamed suggested
to his father to go and quell the disturbance. His father
agreed, and having levied a large force from er-Rastak and
other places he went to Azka, taking his two sons Hamed
and Ahmed with him. On reaching Nejd-es-Sahamah he
proceeded from thence to esh-Sharkiyyah, and collected a
considerable number of the Arabs and Hadhr, but the greater
part of his force consisted of Arabs. When they arrived at
Azka they were attacked by the Nizar, and there was a
great battle between them, which ended in the defeat of the
Nizar, a great number of whom were killed. Then peace
was made between the latter and the people of el-Yamn,
through the mediation of the Imam Said.
When the Imam was about to leave Azka for er-Rastak
