- 21 -The road to the port, his son Sayyid Ali, to settle what he had incurred from his fear, and this was one of the duties of the governor. Madah and Azrad, the governor, were a crown for Sayyid Ali. As for the clan of Sergh, they did not follow him, and the aforementioned clan of Sergh only acted in some of the government's affairs. His son, the aforementioned Sayyid Ali, was in charge of most of the governor's affairs, such as the road to the port and similar matters. He introduced innovations and actions, such as beating people who did not deserve to be beaten, like Al-Faqq Abd Allah bin Al-Faqih Al-Imam Ibrahim bin Muhtadh, and Nakrabi, and the chief of the donkey owners, Azki Bilal bin Azki Musa. It is said that he beat him with a whip from Qahira, and others from the donkey owners. And so he continued to treat them every day until one day he became angry with one of them on the road to the port. He wished to arrest him, but he fled until he entered the garden of the saint of God, Al-Faqih Ahmad Muhayya, and left him there. They could not bring themselves to enter to him in the garden. Then Sayyid Ali came there and swore to them that he would not leave the garden until he was brought out. At that point, they entered to him, arrested him, and dragged him by force. The man in charge of the garden's gate, Bard, grabbed it with his hand, and it broke when they dragged him. They broke his hand and brought him out to him, and beat him. A few days after that, while he was on the road to Karan, his leg was broken. This happened when his horse moved and he fell to the ground, his legs getting stuck in the stirrups. He was interpreted as being thrown from the horse, and if he had fallen to the ground, he would have returned by the power of God Almighty. They carried him to his house, where he remained in pain and illness. He did not go out again until the day he went out to him in the city. He went to the door of his house with horses, carried him, and mounted him on the horses, and walked with him, leaving everything in his house filled with wealth. During the period of his movement, he moved three times. The first movement was to Bar and Darr, where he killed Kafar bin Nabr. This happened when he descended to Al-Halla near the aforementioned city of Dubb, and the commander Ali bin Al-Kahiyah Saeed bin Yahya asked him to fight Dubb.
