THE IMAMS OF 'OMAN.
When es-Sammar's plunderings by sea and land had be
come notorious, Kais began to collect troops and then wrote
to his brother Muhammad-bin-el-Imam, who was at that
time in 'Oman holding possession of the fort of Behla
and the castle of Nezwa and Azka, to go down to Semail
and divert the sheikh Muhammad-bin-Nasir, el-Jabry, and
all the Nizariyyah of that place, so as to prevent them from
going to Maskat. Muhammad did as he was requested,
taking a large force with him, and found the Benu-Ruwahah
and the people of the 'Alayat-Semail assembled together to
oppose him. Kais, on the other hand, marched with his
army to Maskat, which was then held by the Seyyid Salim,
with a force consisting of some of the Benu-Jaalan, the Benu-
Rasib and el-Kawasim, the Benu-Jabir of Tiwa, and some of
the men of Nakhl, adherents of Malik-bin-Seif, el-\aaruby;
(at this time Said-bin-Sultan was at Barkah.) On the ap
proach of Kais and his army towards es-Sedd, the Benu-
Rasib and the el-Kawasim encountered him, and there was
a severe fight in the

, called el-'Adiy, in which Muham
mad-bin Majid, the Amir of the former, and likewise the
Amir of the el-Kawasim were killed, and only a few of their
followers escaped unhurt. Thereupon Salim-bin-Sultan re
turned to Maskat with the remainder of his forces, while
Kais and his army entered es-Sedd and halted there three
nights. Bedr-bin-Seif then went out with his followers and
lay in ambush above the villages of the castle of the er-
Riwayah, in the greater

Towards night, Kais-bin-el-Imam started with his army,

then turning off towards M^skat. Bedr's men getting scent
of this took to flight, Bedr taking refuge in the castle, but
two of his horsemen, one named Hudayyid and the other
'Abd-esh-Sheikh, were killed.
