May God have mercy on him, Akhraqi brought the news of the death of Yunus Bakr, Abu Marakh. He was presented to the chief of the people, perhaps falsely, as happened at the beginning of the month. And Nafit, his brother-in-law, Damyantah, acted as they saw. What is he planning for us? So they called out, "We don't know." He said, "He only brought the news of Yunus's death, and they were pleased with it." He was replaced in the body, and he had a moment of reflection. He did not leave his council until he had passed his judgment at the time he was to depart. He sent Ammarah to inform him that he was a messenger from Sheikh Muhammad bin Sultan Al-Hanayqa, who had sent them to announce the death of Yunus. He took from his book to inform them that he died seven days after leaving his confinement, by the grace of our master Ammar. The news was confirmed by the arrival of the messengers. And Ahmad Blay wrote to him. When he left his confinement, he left with his body swollen and his legs and arms weak. He rode twice on a camel. As for the people, they were dyed. Then they dispersed among themselves, and our master did not know what had happened to them, except that he was greatly pleased with the death of Sa'd and his companions and his followers. His death was on Wednesday, eleven nights remaining in the month of Rabi' al-Thani in the year 1182 AH, and in the month of Rabi' al-Awwal, which occurred in the defense of the fort. What happened to Abu Ibrahim bin Abi Aziz, Sheikh Al-Khmanashah and chief of the Arabs, when our master's side was attacked with the cunning of Allah, may He be exalted. He sought to bring evil upon him, saying that he had not reached our master's side much, to the extent of his enmity and the order of the Sharifs and the loyalists. Our master is very active and sent for the account of the hand and the distance of the occurrence of the haste. This is my situation, completely. And he considered the two matters. He sat in the year 1187 AH. He returned to his people, his camel, and his tents. He attacked Shana'in, attacked Hadhiah, and prevented and took possession of the subjects. Then he went to the camels of Arla, who had sent them to him for the sake of good pasture and abundant fodder.
