Abu Tufayl, may God strengthen him, as we have entrusted him with the tribe and Sheikh Muhammad bin Hayf bin Yahya and those who followed him, in the vicinity of Al-Bata, as he gathered his armies. On the seventeenth of Dhu al-Hijjah, our master the Caliph, may God strengthen him, honored the High Presence, and his servant Najm, Muhammad bin Hayf bin Yahya, was appointed. He descended to Al-Bata and the Bani Zarnata and the Arabs boasted of his generous gifts, which were unmatched. The dissenters, with Abu Zayan bin Dasa, played with those who agreed with them. They agreed to attack Qabid bin Musa in Zarna for twenty days, on Friday the eighth of Rabi' al-Awwal. When victory was granted to him and the cavalry charged at the last prayer, they were in the area of Al-Kuda and Mahawiyya Zaliqa. He killed and captured many of them and plundered Abu Zayan's drums and standards. They escaped with their belongings, but gained nothing. God sufficed the believers from fighting, and the next day brought good news to the Caliph, may God grant him victory. The Caliph, may God grant him victory, received the remaining gifts and departed on the seventh of the month. He intended to pursue the enemy. In the vicinity of Al-Bata, his noble son, with his army, and the leader Atta, with his troops, intercepted him. The writings were in agreement, and the camp called for help. The messengers flew to warn them, and they fled like shadows. The great one, the son of Nasar, sought refuge. The sons of Safir bin Amer went west, and Abu Bakr bin Arf bin Yahya went east with Sultan Abu Rayyan. Then our master, may God grant him victory, sent his son, the Mulla.
