Now, I am going to Sákra on the pretext of celebrating the marriage of my daughter. General Muhammad Kásim (may his honours be permanent) may order about 1,000 horsemen to march and stand on such and such a road, and when I pass by that place they should come and capture me, and bring me to his presence. In that way I shall be free from any blame or reproach. Then people will not say that I became a renegade, and Dahar will not suspect any foul play. He will believe that I have been dragged away by force and violence.” Muhammad Kásim fully believed what Mókah son of Basáyeh said, taking his word to be true. Accordingly, on the day appointed by Mókah, Muhammad Kásim sent Banánah son of Khantalah Kilábí with 1,000 horsemen, armed cap-a-pie, on chosen steeds to the appointed place. He himself also left his quarters, and moving to the vicinity of that place, pitched his camp; and Mókah, too, taking some horsemen with him, started for the place. Banánah Khantalah with his men and an interpreter came to the road and halted there. Not long afterwards, Mókah Basáyeh was taken prisoner, together with 20 brave Thákurs and other men.
