Translation
And it is reported that Ma’ad Bin Adnan feared that the (boundary of the) Sanctuary would be obscured, so he placed his monuments, and he was the first one to place these. Then Jurhum overcame upon the governership of the House (Kaaba), so it was passed on from them, from an elder to an elder, until Jurhum rebelled at Makkah and permitted (the violations of) it’s Sanctity, and consumed the wealth of the Kaaba, and oppressed the ones who entered Makkah, and he exceeded, and rebelled. And Makkah, during the pre-Islamic period, there was neither any oppression nor any rebellion therein, nor were (the violations) of its Sanctity permitted by any king, except that he was destroyed right there in his place; and it used to be called Bakkah, because it crushed the necks of the rebels when they rebelled in it; and it was called Basa’sa (because) whevenever there were injustices committed therein, it crushed them and destroyed them; and it was called Umm Raham (mother of Mercy), whenever someone sought refuge, was shown mercy. So when Jurhum rebelled and permitted (the violations of the Sanctity) therein, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Sent the nose-bleeds (plague), and the ants upon them and Perished them. So Khuza’a overcame, and gathered the remnants of Jurhum to be expelled from the Sanctuary. And the chief of Khuza’a was Amro Bin Rabi’e Bin Harisa Bin Amro, and the chief of Jurhum was Amro Bin Al Haris Bin Musasi Al Jurhumy. So Khuza’a defeated Jurhum and threw out the ones who remained from Jurhum to a lan from the lands of Juhayna. So a flood came and swept them away. And Khuza’a governed the House (Kaaba). So it did not cease to be in their hands until Qusayy Bin Kilab came, and threw out Khuza’a from the Sanctuary, and governed the House (Kaaba), and overcame upon it.
