Therefore, at Beni Souef that morning women wept, and men looked sullenly upon the ground all but Wassef the camel-driver. It troubled the mind of Wassef that Mahommed Selim made no outcry at his fate.
From the appearance of the group, they look like Beni Harb people 'Sons of Fighting' you know though I didn't expect we'd sight any of that breed so far to westward." "Beni Harb, eh?" echoed the Frenchman, his face going grim. "Ah, mes amis, it is with pleasure I see that race, again!"
The expedition was wholly successful; the Joheina accepted the Prophet's yoke without opposition, and their lead was followed later in the year by the Beni Abs Murra and the Beni Dzobian, and finally the Beni Suleim, whose enmity in conjunction with the Beni Ghatafan had done much to prolong the siege of Medina. The Prophet was exultant.
The summer saw a few minor expeditions to chastise resisters, chief of which was All's campaign against the Beni Tay. He was wholly successful, and brought back to Medina prisoners and booty. The "second year of embassies" proved more gratifying than the first.
Then we'll charge them! And no quarter!" Again, silence from the Legion. The fire from the dunes slackened. These tactics seemed to have disconcerted the Beni Harb.

"Smith and Elder persist in calling the book 'Transformation, which gives one the idea of Harlequin in a pantomime; but I have strictly enjoined upon Ticknor to call it 'The Marble Faun; a Romance of Monte Beni."
At Beishe many battles were fought between Sherif Ghaleb and Saoud the Wahaby general, who being victorious erected two castles in the neighbourhood, and gave them in charge to Ibn Shokban, whom he also made chief of the Beni Salem tribe, the inhabitants of Beishe, who could furnish from eight to ten thousand matchlocks. Ibn Shokban afterwards gallantly opposed the Turkish army.
As the western widening of the Brazilian group, or rather the undulations of the soil in the Campos Parecis, correspond with the spurs of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, and Beni, which the Andes send out eastward, it was formerly concluded that the system of the mountains of Brazil was linked with that of the Andes of Upper Peru.
