introduction
then the pi'incipal town and market of the province. Abu-
Bekr's g-enerals having succeeded in detaching several of the
el-Azd tribes in and around Sohar and Daba from the pre
tender, they started for the latter place and attacked the
enemy. During the engagement, which was carried on
with equal bravery on both sides, the Muslims were un
expectedly reinforced by a large body of the Benu-'Abdu-M-
Kais from el-Bahrein, and by the Azdite tribe, the Benu-
Najiah. Ten thousand rebels perished on the field, and the
town of Daba, together with its inhabitants and accumu
lated wealth, became the prey of the conquerors. The fifth
part of the booty and the same quota of the prisoners being
the legal share of the Khalifah, 'Arfajah set out for Mekkah
with eight hundred captives,—men, women, and children,—
while Hudhaifah remained behind to extinguish all traces of
the rebellion throughout 'Oman. 1

bin-Abi-'l-'Asy governor over el-Bahrein and 'Oman, from
whence the latter dispatched an expedition against Sind.

to the Arabian Khalifate at that date, which further brings
down the history of the country to within a few years of the
period at which our author takes it up, namely, during the
reign of the Khalifah Mo'awiyah, ( a.h . 41-60 = a.d . 6(31-680),
the first of the Omeyyah dynasty; nevertheless, he expressly
states at the outset that the authority of the Khalifahs was
merely nominal over 'Oman until the accession of ^Abdu-T-
Malik-bin-Marwan, a.h . 65 = a.d . 684, when el-Hajjaj, the
famous governor of el-'Irak, determined to reduce it. The
first attempts made by his generals were bravely resisted by
