182

The dressers of this bride, and the embellishers of this garden have thus heard from 'Ali bin Muhammad bin Salma bin Muharib and 'Abdu-r Rahman, son of 'Abdanu-s Saliti, that when Muhammad Kasim had subjugated the proud people of Alor, the seat of government, and all the people had submitted to him and obeyed his rule, he appointed Rawah, son of Asad, who on his mother's side was one of the grandsons of Ahnaf, son of Kais, to the chiefship of Alor and entrusted the matters connected with the law and religion to Sadru-l Imam al Ajall al 'Alim Burhanu-l Millat wau-d Din Saifu-s Sunnat wa Najmu-sh Shari'at, that is, to Musa bin Ya'kub bin Tai bin Muhammad bin Shaiban bin 'Usman Sakifi. He ordered them to comfort the subjects, and leave not the words "Inculcate good works and prohibit bad ones," to become a dead letter. He gave them both advice as to their treatment of the people, and leaving them entire power, he then marched from that place and journeyed till he arrived at the fort of Tabiba, on the south bank of the Bias. It was an old fort, and the chief of it was Kaksa.
