and then each returned to his home and the soldiers to their
posts.
Salim had a great regard for the destitute Sufis, as the
following narrative will show. One day I accompanied him
on a visit to his brother Said. When we got near the shop
of the coppersmith Ahmed-bin-Yusif, esh-Shiay, we noticed
a youth of a beautiful countenancej with long flowing hair,
clad in ragged garments. The Seyyid Salim gazed earnestly
at him, while the young man abstained from looking at the
people and continued moving his lips, uttering gentle sounds
which the listeners could not understand. 1 Salim then
motioned me to him, and said : " Go quickly to my

and get ten dollars from him and give them to the man who
is standing near the coppersmith^ shop." I did as he
directed me, but when I returned the man was gone. I
then made inquiries about him, but no one could give me
any information on the subject. On reporting these circum
stances to Salim, when he had returned to his house, he
bade me restore to the

what I had taken from him,
remarking that the opportunity for its use had passed away,
and adding, "Ye shall not will unless God willeth." 2
As regard's Salim's bravery I may mention the following:
equal to that of the angels. The tenets of this extraordinary class of
Persian enthusiasts, whose free opinions regarding the dogmas of Islam
and contempt for its forms contrast so strikingly with their claim to in
effable communion with the Deity, are ably described by the late Sir
John Malcolm in his History of Persia, vol. ii. pp. 382-414.
All religions being tolerated at Maskat, it is not surprising to find
that some of the Sufis had found their way to that town, and that the
more credulous among the population sympathized with them, although
the national creed of the IMdhiyah of 'Oman discountenances the super
stitious practices of Fakirs, Willis, Darwishis, and such like fanatics and
confraternities.
1 The " Adhumean," one of the Fakir sects of the Sufis mentioned
by Malcolm in the foregoing quotation, devote themselves to a life of
mendicacy : " They are always travelling, and are companionless. This
sect continually move their lips in devotion."
