THE IMAMS OF 'OMAN.
governor on tlie part of Muhenna-bin-Jaifarj O/iitl killed liim.
When the Mussulmans heard thereof, Abu-Marwan, the
governor of Sohar, repaired with his people to Tawwam,
taking with him el-Mattar, el-Hindy, and his followers of
the el-Hindy. On reaching Tawwam they attacked the Benu-
Julanda, and God put them to flight. Some were killed
and others were scattered in all directions. Then el-Mattar,
el-Hindy, and his unruly followers destroyed the hamlet
belonging to the Benu-Juldnda with fire. There were camels,
oxen and sheep in it at the time, all of which, being tethered,
were burnt. It is related that one of el-Mattar s men
threw himself into the brook to wet his clothes, and that
he then rushed into the fire to try and cut the ropes so
that the poor animals might escape. As many as seventy
head of cattle were consumed; some say not more than
fifty ; but God knows. It is also recorded that some of the
women of the Benu-Julanda who had escaped, taking a female
servant with them, after remaining a long time in the desert,
being greatly pressed for food, sent their servant to the
village by night to beg meat and drink. On reaching the
village about midnight she obtained a little meal and an
empty milk-skin, and took the latter to the brook and filled
it with water. One of el-Mattar's men, happening to see
her going towards the women with the meal and water,
scattered the meal on the sand and poured the water out of
the skin. Abu-Marwan, however, had not ordered the burn
ing of the hamlet, or any of these outrages; on the contrary,
he had forbidden them, but he was disobeyed. It is recorded
of the Imam that he sent two officers to the people whose
houses had been destroyed and directed that they should be
indemnified. The number of the force which accompanied
Abu-Marwan is said to have amounted to 12,000 ; but God
knows.
El -Muhenna held the Imamate till his death, which took
place on the 26th of Rabia -el-Akhir, 237 [ a.d . 851]. He
