THE IMAMS OF 'OMAN.
Seyyid Said; " I had no idea that the Nizariyyah of the
Wadi
A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows.
-Semail were so numerous; whosoever has such a
force at his disposal may dispense with all other aid." The
Seyyid Said then wrote to Bedr-bin-Seif, who was at Maskat
at the time, to the following effect: "You have doubtless
heard of our proceedings and of our success; but how
comes it that you have taken no part in the war with the
forces at your command (Prior to this communication
another contingent of the Benu-^Utbah had reached Bedr,
in addition to the five hundred of that tribe who had already
joined him. Three hundred men of the people of ; Asailwah,
the adherents of the sheikh Seif, had also been added to his
available force.) After reading the Seyyid Said^s letter,
Bedr forthwith ordered Seif-bin-'Aly-bin-Muhammad to
attack es-Sedd, while the^Benu-Yezid and the Benu-Saadah
were to lie in ambush for the garrison of the tower of
ed-Dauhah in the house of Muhammad-el-Kathiry. He
also ordered Hilal-bin-Hamdan to attack the 'Akabah oi
Kiyam, which was then held for Kais by the Benu-er-Ris.
Hilal having succeeded in taking the 'Akabah, and Seif-
bin-^Aly in seizing es-Sedd, the latter proceeded with a
part of his force to Riyam, reinforced by a great many
of the Wahhabis, and also of the Benu-Yas, the followers
of Hazzaa, besides contingents from the el-Manasir and
from all the Nizariyyah of Jaalan. After a cannonade from
the ships, he ordered the Benu-'Utbah to storm the wall of
the Luwatiyah, and to kill all who fell in their way. He
further directed the Zidgal to seize the heights surrounding
el-Matrah. Then, as he was about to ascend the 'Akabat-
el-Khail to descend with his force upon el-Matrah, he was
met by ^Aly-bin-Hilal-bin-el-Imam [Ahmed], who had come
from that place by edh-Dhait, accompanied by the sheikh
Khamis -bin-Salim, el-Hashimy, who addressed him in these
terms ; Do not be so hasty to fight, for the man ^ ou aic
fighting against is your uncle, and an uncle is like a father.
