recline in the meadows of his courteous hospitality. We
remained with him many long days which delight made
short, and when we were about to return to Maskat he gave
us our choice either to perform the journey by land or by
sea. As we preferred the latter, he caused a splendid boat
to be made ready for us, and on taking leave of us he quoted
this verse:—
" No welcome to the morrow, and no congratulation to it,
If separation from those we love is to be on the morrow. '
Salim's love of his friends was very great. When he was
dangerously ill I took several of my companions with me to
pay him a visit. On reaching him he gently reproached
us for not having come to see him the day before. Alas !
alas! for that time. Alas ! for the loss of that Seyyid whose
affection for his friends was so deep and lasting. I shall
never cease to lament him, and my only comfort is the word
of God to His Prophet, "Proclaim glad tidings unto the
patient."
In fine, the Seyyid Salim-bin-Sultanas praiseworthy cha
racteristics are innumerable. He died of paralysis, in the
city of Maskat, on Wednesday night during the month of
Rajab, a.h . 1236, [April 1821], and was buried in the small
building which had been erected by Sultanas mother on the
western side of the central

of Maskat. Salim left
three male heirs, namely, the Seyyid Muhammad, the Seyyid
Hamed, and the Seyyid Sirhan. He was eulogized by many
poets after his death.
