THE IMAMS OF ^OMAN.
Tho latter, on hearing that Muhenna had left for Nakhl,
started with his followers for ezh-Zhahirah, while Himyar-
bin-Muhammad returned to Nakhl.
Two months after the peace, Malik-bin-Seif-bin-Sultan
murdered Muhenna-bin-Suleiman, el-Yaaruby, in his own
fort. His cousin, Muhammad-bin-Suleiman-bin-Muhammad,
was charged with having instigated him to the crime, but
most persons think that Bedr-bin-Seif-bin-el-Imam was the
chief conspirator. What gives colour to this opinion is
that Bedr-bin-Seif went to Habra with a few followers and
reached that place at night. At dawn the next morning
the report of guns was heard from the fort of Nakhl, where
upon Bedr said to his companions: " I suspect that Mu
henna has been killed," and he dispatched Salim-bin-Thany,
el-Jary, to make inquiries. When the latter reached Nakhl
he found that it was so, and he returned to Bedr and
informed him that the deed had been committed by Malik-
bin-Seif, who had also sent the body of the murdered man
to his brother Himyar, who at that time occupied the Hujrah
at el-Jamimy. By this means Malik-bin-Seif got possession
of the fort of Nakhl.
Muallim Mas ; ud-bin-Khamis-bin-Salih-bin-Sinan, el-
Aama, el-Mandhary, gave me the following information on
the subject. He said: " I used to repair to the fort
every morning at dawn to give lessons in the Kuran to tho
Wali Muhenna-bin-Muhammad. On Friday the 9th of
Dzul-Kaadah, 1219 [8th January, 1805], I went thither
as usual, and found that Muhenna had already trimmed
the lamp; so we sat down at once to peruse the blessed
Book. At the second dawn he prayed with me, after
which we again studied the Kuran, and had come to
the Surat-en-Ndhal, when one of Muhenna's slaves ex
claimed, ( The enemy is at hand, 0 Muhenna!' Muhenna re
marked, ' This slave is demented. , Then as he was reading,
' In tho name of God, the merciful, the compassionate !
