And Younis Ragad left the man's endeavor. And the peoples of the mountain and Beja and Arta died. The Amir returned with the western lineage. This happened in the month of Ramadan, in the year 1240 AH. He descended to Karr, and the Amir's army was sent, and a descent was made upon the companions, who raided them. They were unable to overcome them, and they took their wealth, and they feared the enemy. They called for help and reinforcements, and they came wanting to fight. He descended with reinforcements, and the Amir was merciful to him. He sent him with what he had, and they gathered, fearing death. The Amir was not spared from it. He was afflicted by what he had done, and the fighting began between them, a full day of maneuvering. They fought with spears and swords, and the fighting continued until the Amir sent his deputy, Ali Asham, to the tribes of the Beja. The Amir rode out to meet them with the sons of Akar Yusuf, Makr and Sarhura. They stayed for three days, and the fighting was intense. He saw that the entire army was defeated. He opened the gates of the city, and the commander of the army, Tikeny, gathered his forces. The land was vast, and the tribes were many. Many were devastated in his country, such as Jabal, Al-Maktab, Al-Balka, Al-Waj, Al-Falah, Al-Fahra, and Awad, and others. The tribes of Al-Hira refused to submit. He sent his deputy, Al-Hama, and he was not able to subdue them. The commander of the army, Rokand, descended and camped among the Zuwair. He sent his son, Al-Mawdi, with a large army to gather and form another camp. And the Amir rode out with the army and the cavalry, and the rest of the army in the Sahel to fight against Abbas. And he descended upon the land of Jarj, the commander of the army, Diya' al-Din. He was not able to subdue them, and he was not able to do anything.
