Résumé
The focal point of this paper is three personalities who were in contact with each other during the last quarter of the ninth century of the Higra (fifteenth century AD).
They are the Ibadi Imam 'Umar b. al-Hattäb al-Harüsi of Oman, Agwad b. Zämil al-Gabri, Emir (also King or Sultan) of al-Has, and King Sulaymän b. Sulaymän al-Nabhani of Oman.
The sources are mainly Omani, with a few others. It is to be borne in mind that the source material is very scanty, especially for the major point of this paper. It goes without saying that circumstantial evidence has also been used. As is well known, the period extending from the sixth to the ninth centuries (twelfth to fifteenth centuries AD) has been considered a dark age of Arabian Gulf history, but new light has started to dispel the darkness little by little, thanks to the efforts of a few Arab and foreign researchers. It is hoped that this paper will add a modest contribution to the past and future efforts in this direction.
Before grappling with the problem of Imam 'Umar b. al-Hattab, we need to illuminate the background of the theatre. This will help us understand and analyse the complex situations.
