وقعة وادي لكة

92 ھ

The battle between Tariq ibn Ziyad and Ludhariq, king of the Goths, on the river Lakka in the districts of Shadhuna, took place in the last nights of Ramadan of 92 AH. The fighting lasted eight days, in which three thousand Muslims were martyred; then the Goths were routed, and it is said that Ludhariq drowned ¹. The book notes that Tariq chose the field with care: he set his right wing against the lake, his left against the wadi, and his rear in the mountains of Ratina ¹.
