the imams of 'oman.
those marched to Semail, and were reinforced by the Seyyid
Talib-bin-el-Imam [Ahmed]. On reaching Semail the fort was
surrendered to them unconditionally: the garrison at the time
consisted of the heads of the el-Jibur, Muhammad-bin-Nasir
having gone with a party of the el-'Obriyyin and the Benu-
Shakil to muster the Benu-Riyam to oppose the Persians.
When Muhammad heard of the surrender of the forts of
Nakhl and Semail to the Seyyid Said he started in quest of
Miltlak-el-Mutairy, and learning at el-Bereimy that he had
left three days before for Nejd, he went forward, and on
overtaking him at ezh-Zhafrah-el-Yasiyyah remonstrated
with him in these terms: " How is it that you have aban
doned us, after having received the Amir Suud's orders to
support us ? By Allah ! if you return to Nejd, I will follow
you and complain to the Amir that you fled from the Per
sians without striking a blow, and left the Muslims to their
fate." Muhammad, moreover, gave large sums of money to
Mutlak's Kadhis, in order to secure their interest, and they
accordingly said to Mutlak, " unless you return to aid Mu
hammad-bin-Nasir we will accuse you to the Amir Suud of
cowardice, that you withheld succour from the Muslims and
ran away from the Persians without fighting. You have no
excuse for not returning with Muhammad-bin-Nasir to con
tend against the Mushrikm; 1 for how often, by the will of
God, have a few overcome numbers, and ' God is with tho
patient.'" These expostulations were not without effect
upon Mutlak, who dreaded Suud's reproof. Thereupon Mu
hammad, taking two parcels containing one thousand dollars
each from his saddle-bags, gave them to Mutlak, saying:
" Here are the means to provide for your wants and tho
wants of your followers." Mutlak took the money and re
turned with Muhammad to raise levies from the Benu-Naim
and Kutb and the ezh-Zhawahir; he also collected many
from Dhank and el-Ghabby, and on reaching Azka they
were joined by the ol-Janabah and the ed-Duruwwa.
