Battle of Thi Qar

Battle of Thi Qar

Battle of Thi Qar (Arabic,معركة ذي قار) was a Pre-Islamic battle on 609 between Arabs and Persians.

According to the Arab historian Abu Obayda (d. 824), Khusraw Parviz was angry with King Numan III for refusing to give him his daughter in marriage, and therefore imprisoned him. Subsequently, Khusraw sent troops to recover the Numan family armor, but Hany bin Masud (Numan's friend) refused, and the Persian forces were defeated at the battle of Dhi Qar, near Al-Hirah, the Lakhmid dynasty's capital.
