Upon the arrival of some of them in Azawall, they heard news of their enemies from where they were. Then they proceeded in Azawall. The 'Amiri tribe, hearing that they were in Azawall seeking their livelihoods, went out to meet them. All the elders of the 'Amiri tribe gathered. On the day they set out, they met at a place called Nuka Ham. A fierce battle and a great conflict ensued. On that day, they killed Al-Hajj Yusuf bin Ahmad bin Al-Hajj, Al-Hajj Hafiz, Mazouq the Sheikh, and Al-Hajj Ali Matamouq. Sheikh Ali bin Dahan was wounded and died after that day, along with others. Their strength was broken, their resolve weakened, and they said that the 'Amiri were like devils that day. We ask God for well-being in this world and the hereafter. As for the others of their adversaries, we have no news of them, and we know nothing about them. Then the Pasha Sid was dismissed on Saturday, the twenty-eighth of Jumada al-Akhirah, and his tenure was four or six months. Sid bin Al-Qaid Sinir bin Al-Basha Masoud bin Mansour took over after the dismissal of Al-Qaid Al-Mana Ibrahim bin Al-Qaid Hamad bin Ali Al-Turkarki on Thursday, the twenty-third of Rajab al-Fard in the year fifty-one and one hundred after the Hijra. This was because he left the camp of Birah Al-Kahhi Muhammad bin Al-Qaid Ahmad Al-Khalifa, whom he had sent to the army, and met with the aforementioned Al-Qaid Said in the camp. Al-Qaid Said brought Birah Al-Kahhi Muhammad to the camp, and they read it. As for the letter, it states that Mawlay Said and Mawlay Al-Dhahabi, along with Godar bin Al-Qaid Al-Mubarak bin Al-Hasan, who was in the land of Junhu, had themselves cut off the road in Junhu. Qais cut off the road of Kuri and descended with loads of salt and food. As for Godar, he cut off the road of his belongings and bid farewell to Al-Bayda. For this reason, the Pasha requested him on the eve of Thursday, the twenty-third of the aforementioned month. He was the leader of Bani Saadoun. On the day he took office, Al-Qaid Baba Sid succeeded him.
