THE IMAMS OF 'OMAN.
you called Khawarij, and why do you not abjure the tenets
of that sect, knowing that a curse rests upon them on ac
count of their wicked ways." (The interpreter translated
these words to the Shah.) Nasir replied: "We are not
Khawarij ; the Khawarij were a set of fanatics who existed
amongst us in olden time; but since then we have been
separated from them, as we are now, on account of their
deviation from the truth and their excesses, wherein they
followed what w T as vain. Our fanatics are the Khawarij,
yours are the Bawajidh, and the curse of God rests alike on
both." 1 (The interpreter translated this reply also to the
Shah.) The Mirza remaining silent for some time, Nasir
said to him : " O Mirza, I want to ask you a question, but
I fear to do so, seeing that I am in a situation of danger,
whereas you are quite safe." The Mirza replied : " Say
what you please; I guarantee your immunity." " I will
not speak," rejoined Nasir, " until I have the same assur
ance from the Shah." The interpreter having repeated this
to the Shah, the latter sent one of his Wazirs, who spoke
Arabic, to Nasir with this message : " The Shah salutes you,
and bids me to tell you that he has overheard and under
stood what you have said, and gives you full liberty to say
what you please, under his guarantee that none of his sub
jects shall harm you." Thereupon Nasir asked the Mirza:
1 Rnwdfidh, (sing. Rd/idhy,) literally, Gainsayers, a term generally
used by Sunnis to denote their opponents, the Shia'ahs, who profess an
exclusive attachment for 'Aly and his descendants, maintaining their
right to the Imamate in succession to Muhammad, and regarding Abu-
Bokr, 'Omar, 'Othman, and Mo'iLwiyah as usurpers. It would appear,
however, from the text, that the designation is applied in Persia to the
numerous sects of dissidents from the orthodox (?) Shia'ahs, with whom
they are at variance, both as regards the nature of 'Aly's claims to
the Imamate, and also as to the number of his legitimate Successors.
For an account of the origin of the name, see el-Makrizy, quoted with
comments in the Introduction to De Sacy's Exposk, de la Religion des
Druzes, vol. i. p. Ixviii.
