The mentioned parties entered Rahat, one after another, and considered who to appoint as their ruler, lest the country be left to sedition and ruin. They appointed Commander Sa'id bin Ali al-Nazarki as ruler in his second reign, thus closing the door to sedition. This occurred amidst the sedition of the Arabs and the Tuareg, starting on Monday, the twenty-second of Safar al-Khair in that mentioned year. Note: When Hamad bin Commander Sunir bin Pasha Mas'ud was dismissed at the beginning of his reign, on Friday, the eighteenth of Safar al-Khair, in the year one hundred and forty-nine after one thousand, after two groups of Arabs had traveled to Ar'oun with the chief of Ar'oun, Ali bin al-Kahiya Abd al-Karim, and the judge, the esteemed scholar al-Wafi, seeking their approval. When they arrived, Tanbut blocked their entry and prevented them from receiving provisions in the name of Pasha Ahmad, as mentioned. Then they approached some of the riflemen, such as Hamad bin al-Fann Mansur, to remove the Pasha for them. He agreed and they bribed him. The day after his dismissal, the battle of the Arabs took place at a place called Qasm Bahr, near Tabka Umm Aisha and Adaj. On that day, among them were Aghmar, Muhammad bin al-Hussein, and Ibn Hotayz, assisting each other until they defeated the other group and looted the Tuareg and the thieves of the people of Tabkat of their possessions. Then the riflemen approached each other on Sunday night, the twenty-first of the month, the second day of the battle, and asked among themselves who should rule during the reign, lest the country be left to chaos. They agreed on Commander Sa'id bin Ali and appointed him Pasha on the third day of the battle, Monday the twenty-second of the month. This closed the door to sedition, as it entered amidst the sedition of the Arabs and the Tuareg. Then the sedition shifted and occurred between the Tuareg and the people of Tabkat, and fear and insecurity spread among them from that hour in the country. They cut off the port road for the people of Tabkat, neither going nor coming, nor any traveler arriving by night or day. Aghmar, Muhammad bin al-Hussein, and Ibn Hotayz were on their side, so each of them returned.
