tue imams of 'oman.
med-bin-Said 1 fell upon liim and killed hira, his companions
fleeing to er-Rastak. This took place a.h . 1248 [ a.d . 1832.]
When Hamud-bin-'Azzan heard that Sultan had killed
Suud, and that the fort [of er-Rastak] had afterwards fallen
into the hands of Hamud-bin-Bedr-bin-Seif,—perceiving,
moreover, that the Seyyids, the sons of Said, delayed going
to er-Rastak, he proceeded thither with a large force, and
so terrified Hamud that the latter surrendered the fort to
him unconditionally.
When the Seyyid Said heard of these proceedings he
returned forthwith to Maskat, and ordered Hamad-bin-
Ahmed and Suleiman-bin-Said-bin-Yahya-bin-'Abdallah-
bin-Muhammad-bin-'Abdallah, ed Darmaky, and Sawailim-
bin-Salimin, to proceed against er-Rastak. Suleiman ac
cordingly occupied the fort of the el-Mazana, with their
consent, and Suwailim-bin-Salimin encamped with the
cavalry around it, while Hamad-bin-Ahmed and his fol
lowers from Nakhl took up a position at some distance from
them. Hamud, who was at the time at er-Rastak, being
apprised of these movements, had raised large levies from
Sohar and its dependencies, and joined to them a great
many Arabs and Hadhr. Suwailim and Suleiman getting
wind of this took to flight, but Hamad and his force re
mained encamped in the open outskirts of er-Rastak, and
on learning that Hamud had reached el-Ghashb he marched
out to meet him, but was defeated with the loss of some ot
his men, among whom was Suleiman-bin-Khalfan-bin-]\Ia-
lik, el-Yaaruby. Thereupon Hamud entered the fort, taking
Hamad with him under arrest, but he pardoned him. Then
Ghaith, el-Yaaruby, came to request an assurance of im
munity for himself, but he had him put to death. He then
set Hamad at liberty, and caused the fort of the Benu-
jMazrua to be razed, dismantled it of its guns, and added
them to the armament of the great fort.
1 Also great-grandson to the Imam Ahmed, through his second son,
the Imam Sa'id. Sa'id begat Ahmed, and Ahmed begat Sultan.
