Haimd-bin-Nasir to settle matters amicably between Kais
and his nephews, so that if you venture to kill but one man
of the el-Jantbah you may rest assured that SaJd-bin-Majid
and his men will not escape the vengeance of the Benu-
Ghafir. r l hat, in fact, will be the result, whether you suc
ceed or fail in your design; therefore I entreat you to restrain
your violence,^ Hamid-bin-Zhdlam said much more to the
same effect, but ^Isa would not listen to him, and set forth
with his followers. When the two parties met, Seif-bin-
Thabit conjured 'Isa, in God's name, to desist, but the latter
replied : "We must fight." So the combatants alighted from
theii 1 animals and fought with swords and spears. 'Isa's
party were worsted in the engagement, for he lost thirty
men killed, and received two spear-wounds himself, while
on Seif's side only three fell. The noise of the conflict
reaching the combined camp of the Benu-Kelban, of Ibn-
Muaaikal, the Wahhaby, the Benu-Haras, (the people of
Jamma,) and the el-Masakarah, they started immediately to
the assistance of Seif-bin-Thabit, but on reaching him found
that the affair was ended. Thereupon they began to upbraid
Seif-bin-Thabit for not having appealed to them for aid. He
replied: f ' I myself was quite unaware of any such impending
conflict until I was suddenly surrounded by the assailants,
and God has adjudged the result betwixt us."
ihen the Benu-Kelban dispatched a messenger with a
letter informing Hamid-bin-Nasir of what had occurred be
tween 'Isa and Seif. The messenger met Hamid and his
force at el-Kasabiyyah, on their return from Kais, and after
Ifamid had read the letter he made the messenger give him
all the details of the affair, halting with his men for that
purpose. Thereupon Malik-bin-Seif, el Yaaruby, gave the
sheikh Said-bin-Majid-bin- Said a hint to make his escape.
1'e and his men accordingly detached themselves from tho
other troops, spurred their camels, and did not come to a
halt till they reached Ardh-el-Hadhra, near es-Suwaik.
