Overview

Al-Baladhuri relates that Tasm settled between Yemen and al-Yamama, and Jadis settled at al-Yamama, and was known as Jaww. There were wars between them in which Jadis destroyed most of Tasm, so that it was said: "O Tasm, what you met at the hands of Jadis!" ²

Their end

The remainder of Tasm joined Jadis in al-Yamama. Then Tuba' came from Yemen, and Abd Kulal ibn Mathub came, and killed Tasm and Jadis at al-Yamama. He crucified a woman of Jadis called al-Yamama, daughter of Marr, at the gate of Jaww, and Jaww was named after her. ²

Another account

It is said that Jadis refused a tribute that was owed by them, so Tasm was seized for their wrongdoing. ²

There is no verified date for the event, which is among the reports of the time of the Tubba'. ²

Battle of al-Musayyakh (12 AH)

The night assault at al-Musayyakh: Khalid timed al-Qa'qa', Abu Layla and 'A'bad to converge on Hudhayl ibn 'Imran's camp in one hour and attacked the sleeping army from three sides. Among the dead were 'Abd al-'Uzza ibn Abi Ruhm and Labid ibn Jarir — two men who had already accepted Islam and carried Abu Bakr's letter confirming it; the caliph paid their blood-money and commended their children, and 'Umar counted their death against Khalid. Hurqus ibn al-Nu'man, who had warned the camp in vain, sat drinking a farewell cup until his head fell into the bowl.
