THE IMAMS OP 'OMAN.
to fall of my companions, and cause Shiban to be the first to
fall of his companions, and then put them to flight. But if
Shiban holds the religion which Thou approvest, and ad
heres to the truth which is agreeable to Thee, then let
Shiban be the first to fall on his side/' The two parties
then came into collision, and the first killed was Najih, and
the first who fell of the opposite party was Shiban.
After this occurrence Khazim-bin-Khuzaimah came to
'Oman, and stated that he had come to look after Shiban
and his followers; but on hearing what had befallen them
he said: " Let their death and what they have suffered at
your hands suffice. My only wish now is to be able to in
form the Khalifah that you are obedient and loyal/' Julanda
consulted the Mussulmans on this point, but they would not
agree to it. It is further stated that Khazim asked for Shi-
ban's ring and sword, and that Julanda refused to give them
up. This state of things led to a battle between Khazim and
the people of'Oman, wherein all Julanda's adherents were
slain, and none remained alive but Julanda himself and
Hilal-bin-'Atiyyah. Thereupon Julanda said; " To the at
tack, O Hilal!" To which the latter replied ; You are my
Imam, and should be before me; rest assured that I shall
not survive you.' 1 So Julanda advanced and fought till ho
was slain, and was then followed by Hilal. Now Hilal had
on a coat of mail, and was armed with a spear, with which
he did such execution that the followers of Khazim were
astonished at his bravery. They did not recognize him at
first, but on hearing that it was Hilal they fell upon him and
slew him. This battle took place at Julfar.
The Imamate of Julanda lasted two years and one month.
1 There is a play upon the Arabic words used in the original which
cannot be conveyed in English. Imdtn and amdvi are from the same
root, the first means the person who precedes the congregation in prayer,
the second before, in space. Ililal said: You are Imdmy (in prayer)
and should therefore be amdmy, i. e. in advance of mo.
