SA^ID-BIN-SULTAN.
271
Tho sentence of God will come, therefore do not hasten it/
Malik-bin-Seif and several of his companions suddenly fell
upon him. He wrestled with Malik and overpowered him,
and then strove to strike him with his dagger, whereupon
Malik cried out, 'The man has killed me.' Then Salim-bin-
Nasib, nicknamed esh-Shakily, came forward and plunged
his dagger into Muhenna's belly, killing him on the spot."
When Kais-bin-el-Imam heard of the death of Muhenna
he ordered Nasir-bin-Said, el-Hdbashy, known as es-Sam-
mar, to make inroads in the direction of el-Bushir, 1 and to
close the sea-route with his boats, so as to prevent any of
the craft belonging to the people of Barkah and el-Masnaah
from going to Maskat. This Nasir-es-Sammar was at the
time Kais's Wali over es-Stb, and held the fort there. He
went even beyond his instructions, for he collected a great
number of freebooters and went with them to Finja, the
people of which joined him, and then attacked the fort of
Badbad, then in the hands of 'Aly-bin-Seif-bin-el-Imam, and
took it by force, but did not kill any one. Nasir pursued
this career for a considerable period, sometimes making
raids on the people of es-Sarur, and then returning to es-
Sib to ravage the villages of Bushir, insomuch that he
effectually stopped all communication both by sea and land.
These proceedings estranged the Seyyids from their uncle
Kais; they were still more estranged from Bedr-bin-Seif,
whom they accused of having instigated Malik-bin-Salim to
murder Muhenna, chiefly, as they believed, because Muhenna
was their principal adviser and entirely devoted to their
interests. These feelings, however, they kept to themselves
and did not communicate them either to high or low.
1 See note 1, p. 68. Mr. Palgrave writes it " Besheyr," and describes
it as " a large village, but mostly constructed of wood and thatch ; the
streets wide, clean and irregular; an earth wall surrounds the whole,
dividing the houses and the gardens." Cent, and East. Arabia, vol. ii.
p. 375.
