SA^ID-BIN-SULTAN.
331
Siririyyin, on behalf of Khalfan, and one of them having
come to inform the latter that they were out of provisions
and ammunition, he sent Khalfan-bin-Muhammad, el-Mauly,
with a party of men to the Hnjrah with the required sup
plies. They succeeded in the task, after dislodging Him-
yar's followers from the stockade, but as Khalfan-bin-Mu-
hammad and his party were returning to the fort, the slaves
of Himyar fell upon them, killing Khalfan and two of his
men. Subsequently, Muhamraad-bin-Nasir, el-Jabry, came
to the support of Himyar and the people of Nakhl, with one
thousand men of 'Oman. He was also joined by the el-
Hazm and many of the el-Yaarubah, and others.
When the Seyyid Said saw Himyar's determination, and
that the el-Maawal were unable to expel him and his col
league Muhammad-bin-Nasir from Nakhl, he sent Said-bin-
Hamed-bin-Khalfan to advise the latter not to persist in his
present course, and to break off all connection with Himyar
and the people of Nakhl, promising that if he obeyed he
would give him as much money as he desired and any forti
fied post he chose. Muhammad accepted the proposal and
returned to 'Oman with his followers, leaving Himyar with
a small force; nevertheless, the latter was bent on prose
cuting the war. Thereupon the Seyyid Said summoned
Najim-bin-'Abdallah, es-Seyyaby, from Nakhl, and on his
arrival the Seyyid began raising levies from the el-Harth,
the el-Hajariyyin, the Benu-Hasan, the coast Arabs, the
Uenu-Kharus, and from some of the Nizariyyah of Senuiil,
and then marched with them, ordering a party of the Benu-
Hinah to go in advance and to seize the Masjid near the
market before his arrival. After seizing the Masjid, some
of the Benu-Hinah attacked the House of Refuge, but losing
their commander, who was shot by a musket-ball, they
joined their comrades who were in the Masjid.
On the Seyyid^s arrival a part of his force attacked the
tower 'Akum and took it, Himyar retiring to el-Hamam.
