On the eve of the Hiss, on the first day of Muharram, the second and the hundred and first year after the Hijra, the Pasha had not yet arrived. Then the Pasha arrived with his camp at the place where the aforementioned commander had been. He swore not to return until he captured the belongings of the Fulani or brought the one who directly killed him, or paid his full blood money. He camped there with the rest of the camp. The remaining commanders, Commander Hajj bin Al-Faa' Mansour and Commander Baba Saad bin Commander Hajj Zind, had already arrived in Tanket before the Pasha's arrival. They met him at the port upon his arrival. News of the commander's death reached Tanket at noon on Saturday, the ninth of the mentioned month, which was Ashura, the third day after his killing. The Pasha stayed there, delayed, and spent about twenty-two days. On Friday, the last day of Muharram, the Pasha's messenger came to Tanket to settle some of his affairs and to bring news of the peace between him and the Fulani, on the condition that they pay the blood money. Then Tanket, with his camp, returned on Wednesday, the first of the month of Safar, in the year fifty-two [47] and one hundred after the Hijra, safe and sound. No one was killed except the aforementioned commander and Al-Kahia Yahya Al-Hindi, as previously mentioned. They entered Naha and roamed as was their custom. On the eve of the Hiss, the sixteenth of Rabi' al-Akhir of that year, Al-Kahia Saeed bin Commander Al-Basha Al-Masri Al-Sharqi passed away. On the Hiss of the twenty-third of that month, the people of Darmi came from Daramki to Al-Basha Saeed with the head of Farnan Kanun, who was the son-in-law of Joudar bin Commander Al-Mubarak. He was the one who was with Al-Basha at his death in Jinju. The people of Darmi found him only after the Pasha's return, and they managed to get him, cut off his head, wrapped it in leather, and brought it to him. When it reached him, he thanked them for their deed and rejoiced. He rode Sa'ad to the market and hung it on the wall until the next day. It was very strong.
