He marched towards them with his men. As soon as the tribe heard of this, they knew that the soldiers of Sun were with him. Mu'as stood and went out to meet them hastily. They fought in the land of Sab Zubaileh, and a reconciliation took place with Muhambar and Al-Marzouk. Their pursuers followed them and besieged them severely until their food ran out. They gave up all their animals, including donkeys and others, and continued to be besieged and harassed. Pasha requested reinforcements. A messenger was sent to him. Muhammad bin Jahim was unable to correspond. Sultan Ba'amri' Al-Ghayyal, named after the tribe of Al-Ghayyas, a branch of Sab Mufarraj, was besieged with them. He had a friendship with Abdullah Pasha Al-Husnawi. Abdullah was with Prince Muhammad bin Jahim. The Sultan, his friend, used to descend into a well to get water. It was a deep well, and no one could descend into it except the Sultan. When the camels arrived, he would descend into it, empty their water skins, and replace them. Abdullah's custom was to bring them water. When the news of reinforcements reached them, the Sultan of Makawat, his friend, informed him of this, fearing that he would be taken if Prince Muhammad and those with him knew. He sent a message to them to return. The return was difficult for them because they were unable to endure the hardship, just as the besieged were. The reinforcements arrived with the small rain, with the males of Al-Hajil, due to their ability to break through and endure. Abdullah was with them. He informed them that reinforcements had arrived. Muhammad bin Jahim then marched out, lifting the siege. He moved away from them. The land of Fezzan changed hands. When he entered the land of Fezzan, he took control of it. He fought them for a short time, causing them all to suffer. The people of Fezzan then made peace among themselves, agreeing to help each other and cease fighting until Muhammad returned. Pasha Muhammad bin Jahim went to negotiate with Sayyid Ali Al-Khubairi, Al-Ma'diyah Al-Aqabah, and his three brothers, Sayyid Hamid Al-Khubairi. They made peace among themselves, agreeing that the Turks would leave Fezzan and hand it over to its owner. They agreed to pay four thousand mithqals of gold annually. The Arabs would give slaves and maidservants in return. They set the price for each male slave at twenty-five mithqals, for a female slave at thirty mithqals, and for a camel at eighty. They agreed to provide provisions for the companion until they reached Suknah, and from there to the city. The Sultan of Tripoli would provide the companion's transport. As we mentioned before, the cost of the army was thirteen mithqals and three of gold. The cost of the city's guard was seven mithqals and one-third. The Nubian guards and their attendants cost thirty-three mithqals and one thousand five hundred of the aforementioned. The matter was settled among them. Pasha Muhammad ordered his soldiers to move. If Muhammad bin Jahim adhered to this, we would reach Muhammad. What is with the people of Al-Shubhan Al-Sharm? He spent.
