Overview
Sharik ibn Sumayy was one of Amr ibn al-As's men at the conquest of Egypt. Ibn Abd al-Hakam reports from Yazid ibn Abi Habib that Amr sent him after the Romans and he caught and routed them at the mound called Kom Sharik. 1
On the mound
Another report says he led Amr's vanguard; the Romans met him at Tarnut and drove him onto the mound, where he held out surrounded and sent Malik ibn Na'ima al-Sadafi on his chestnut horse to Amr, who came up and the Romans withdrew. 1 See the battle of Kom Sharik.
