The King ordered Hamza to continue with him, and they were the most knowledgeable. His master, Al-Mansari Hamza, came as a servant. When he heard the news of the army and cavalry, he appointed Mahbub as their commander. He sent with the King Shahban Al-Sab' as his governor over Musasa after dismissing Manteh and the supervisor thereof. As previously mentioned, he was a neighbor of Sulayman, a stage away from Tunis. When the news reached our master, he hastened to send a detachment. He ordered Hussein to take the books, and he complied. It was one of the closest matters. The affairs were settled, and he returned. When he learned what had happened with Hilal, he sent Al-Haj Ali to perform Hajj and inform Ashawer. He was told that the King was pleased and ordered him to consult Al-Haj Shahban Al-Sab' about the departure. He said, "Our master orders us to take the fortress. We will return to you with all of that." When the army of Baro arrived, he ordered them to write to Barj and to the commander of the army and the two fortresses. They informed him of the taking of the fortress, and they all departed. They descended upon the camp of Kayan, which was called Marj Al-Bal Al-Saki. He returned to this matter. He said, "By God, if he had not been saved, he would have perished." Then they incited the youth to fight. They fought fiercely, and the army of Jamal was defeated. They fled, leaving their banners behind. They had captured him, and they departed. They were supervised by the local forces with their banners. They found the satisfaction of Al-Ridha, and Hussein fled. The army of Jamal fled and was pursued. They were met by the army of Al-La' and the army of Hajar. When the enemy saw the banners, they were terrified. They feared that their camp would be taken by Bar. They were saved by the grace of God Almighty, who struck terror into the hearts of the army of Jamal and their companions. They were certain of their destruction. Al-Haj Ali mounted his horse and set out.
