You must have beard of the question of this
traitor, the Idrisi. Truly, tbis movement is one which is most
surprising in tbis world,that the Idrisi betrays our servants
who were to look after bis own interests and whom be himself bad
.invited, and it arises from those who had stirred up Ibn Rifadah.
Thanks be to God Who had disgraced him.
We sent Kbalid ^bu al-Walid and Hamad as-Sulaiman
at the head of 300 men in motor cars, who, helped by God, recover
ed Jaizan, after it had been occupied by the Idrisi, and released
our servants who had been captured by him. He (the Idrisi}
escaped to Sab^a, and from Sabfca, which was also recovered, to
the Al-Misarha. Most of the people of Tihama v/ere reassured,
Khalid Ibn Luwai, with his army of Muslims, has
just proceeded. He will reach within two or three days ana, by
God’s help, all the rebels will be destroyed. God’s accustomed
promises are always good.
We have also issued Our orders to ’Abdul ’-a.ziz bin
Musa’ad, and he has proceeded to Abba with a host of townmen,
lab tan and ’Utaibah. This all is for nothing but a prudent
policy and the reform of Yaman affairs, as tne stats of the people
and
allows no negligence nowadays, and Our lenient/pardoning policy
was the cause of all that happened. Muslims are strong by God,
and God please you will shortly get tne .news that will please
