(of'Iiil
u inform him you bear liim obedience." El-Julanda consulted the Musal-
mans as to this proposal, but they were against it. It is also said Khazim
demanded the sword and seal of Shiban, and that el-Julanda refused ; on
which a battle ensued between him and Khazim, in which all el-Julauda's
followers were slain, and none remained alive save himself and Hilal-bin
'Atiyah el-Khorasani. Then said Hilal to el-Julanda, " You are my Imam,
precede me, 14 and I engage not to survive you," El-Julanda then advan
ced and fought until he fell. Hilal then rushed on clad in armour, and the
. enemy amazed at his valour for some time failed to recognize him, but at
length they discovered who he was, and raising the cry " Hilal-bin 'Atiyah !"
fell on him and slew him.
The Imamate of el-Julanda had lasted for two years and a month. It
is said that it was Khazim-bin Khozeymah who caused el-Julanda to be
slain. It has also been told me that at his death Khazim was congratu
lated by some one on his conquest of 'Oman, and that he replied, " Ye
" deceived me in my lifetime and do ye seek to do so at my death ? Alas!
" how will it be for me for slaying the 'Oman Sheykh!"
I have also found it stated that a native of 'Oman went on the pilgrim
age ; and with him was a man from el-Basrah who rested not by night
nor slept. The 'Oman! asked him about this, and he replied not knowing
his companion was a native of 'Oman, that he had gone with Khazim-bin
Khozeymah to 'Oman and had there fought against a people, the like of
whom he had never seen, and since that day sleep did not visit him. The
'Omani said to himself, " You deserve it, if you are one of those who fought
against 'Oman," After el-Julanda was killed, 'Oman fell into the hands of
tyrants who misgoverned the country and oppressed the inhabitants.
Amongst those oppressors were the two Julandaites Mohammed-bin Zaidah
and Rashid-bin Shathan-bin el-Nadhr, In the time of those two, Ghassan-
el-Henai, of the Benu-Maharib, plundered Nezwa, and the Benu Nafa and
Benu-Hamim fled therefrom after many had been slain. This occurred in the
month of Sha'ban, A, H. 145. [A. D. 762]. Thereupon the Benul-Harith of
Ibra espoused their cause, and amongst them there was a slave belonging to
Bakarah called Ziyad-bin Sa'id el-Bakari, so they agreed upon proceeding to
el-'Atik for the purpose of putting to death Grhassan el-Hinai, and they
met him between his house and that of Jenah-bin Sa'd, at a place called
el-Khdr, as he was returning from visiting a sick person of the Benu-Hinah.
He passed by unaware of their presence, and they slew him, Manazil-bin
Khanbash, who resided at Naba and was agent for Mohammed-bin-Zaidah,
and Rashid-bin Shathan the Julandaites, were angered at this proceeding;
and they attacked the people of Ibra unawares. The latter, however, re
pulsed them, and forty of them were slain,
God then blessed the people of 'Oman by bestowing on them love of
