the day of al-Nabaj and Thaytal — Qays ibn ʿĀṣim's two raids

The Day of al-Nabaj and Thaytal: Qays ibn Asim (may God be pleased with him) al-Minqari raided with the Maqa'is of Tamim, with Salama ibn Zarb among the Aharith. They found the Lahazim of Bakr ibn Wa'il and those with them at al-Nabaj and Thaytal. Qays attacked al-Nabaj, watered his horses, then poured out the water the enemy had. He told his men to fight, since death was before them and the desert behind them. Bakr was routed, and he took booty beyond counting. He then hurried toward Thaytal, attacked them there too, and they were routed; he took booty there as well. He disputed the booty with Salama until they agreed to hand it over to him. ¹
