The supplement for the forty-second year of the Hijra. On the day of Tarwiyah, I arrived at Hani, and the Sultan bade me farewell. Hani, son of Amina, the daughter of Al-Hajj, fled to the Khelwa, and Jern Koch and his companions fled to the land of Hani, to Hajj, son of Hamad Aisha, and the old inherited enmity between them. The aforementioned Amina said to the commander, "This is a disgrace, and I ask you to use all your cunning to capture the fugitive and put him in chains." So he sent him a message, and the commander, Ahmad, sent him what he had, but he was not satisfied. Then Hamad Amina went to the Al-Awali, as was their custom, to spend the season there for the known period, until the period ended and he returned to the coast. We wrote to him what happened in the story of the commander with Sijrn, and the second of the affairs of Jam, at that time. The Makakou kingdom was in a state of war. Then he asked that the commander be intercepted on the road before he reached his destination, and that the meeting be behind him. He was afraid of the enmity between him and Hajj, who was his cousin, and he did not want discord between them. So the messenger arrived, and I went with him to the judge, and he informed him of the message. He said, "In the name of God, and with the blessing of God, but after the commander's permission." So he gave permission and we were entrusted to go to him. When the Kahiyah, Hamad bin Ruh, heard of this, he went to the commander and said to him, "This is our way, not the way of the Talibiyyah." Hamad Al-Hindi, with a group of riflemen. So the commander decided to go, and he went with the Kahiyah.
