to the ed-Duruwwa, and on reaching Nezwa he ordered an
attack upon el-'Alayah, and there was a severe conflict be
tween his force and the inhabitants. The report of what
had occurred at Yabrin coming to the knowledge of Hamid-
bin-Nasir, he forthwith began to assemble his forces, and
wrote to the el-'Obriyyin, and the Benu-Shakil, and the
Benu-Riyam to precede him to Nezwa, and there was a
fierce battle between them and the people of el-'Akr, and
the el-Hawai'r, and those of Saal, during which Kais-bin-el-
Imam left and went to esh-Sharkiyyah and remained there
three days, endeavouring to induce its inhabitants to aid
him, but finding they were not so disposed he departed for
Sohar by el-'Akk. Hamid, on the other hand, went to Behla
and mustered its people, and on reaching Nezwa the struggle
between him and the inhabitants of el-^Akr, the el-Hawair,
and those of Saal waxed hotter. Samh-esh-Shakily also
attacked es-Sarujiyyah and was killed, whereupon his fol
lowers burnt the walls of the Hujrah and put to death all those
who were in it. Thus the war was prolonged between them,
when Muhammad-bin-el-Imam [Ahmed] wrote to the garri
sons of the castle at Nezwa and its forts to make them over
to the Seyyid Said-bin-Sultan, and they accordingly surren
dered them to 'Aly-bin-Talib, who took possession on behalf
of the Seyyid Said. This put an end to the strife between
the people of Nezwa and the Benu-Ghafir.
When the Seyyid Said saw how Bedr-bin-Seif was coquet
ting with the Wahhabis, the Arabs of Jiialan, the el-Yeme-
niyyah, the Nizariyyah, and all the tribes of esh-Sharkiyyah,
he became more and more estranged from him, fearing some
treachery on his part. He confided his suspicions to Mu-
hammad-bin-Nasir, el-Jabry, but to no one else. He then
said to Bedr-bin-Seif : "We must attack the fort of el-Kha-
burah, with the aid of the el-Yemeniyyah, the Arabs of esh-
Sharkiyyah, and the Nizariyyah of the Wadi A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows. -Semail, without
resorting either to the Wahhabis or the people of ezh-Zha-
