and of blessings are in your hands,—therefore I have come
to you seeking this blessing—that you will deign to send us
some of your cavalry, wo undertaking to supply them with
money, provisions, and arms at our own cost." How
many horsemen do you require?" asked the Shah. Salim
said, " three thousand, with as many attendants as may be
necessary." " Your request shall be granted to-morrow,"
replied the Shah; who thereupon invested Salim with a
splendid robe, and after conversing with him for a long time

the Imam's [Ahmed] daughter,that Nakhl should be attacked
before Semail. They accordingly started for that place
with their army of Persians and Arabs, and were joined by
Himyar-bin-Muhammad-bin-Suleiman, el-Yaaruby, out of
hatred to Malik-bin-Seif, who had killed his brother Mu-
