وقعة حمص سنة 659هـ
c. 1260 CE · 659 AH
In Muharram 659 the Tatar remnants of Ayn Jalut and the Jazira raided Aleppo then bore down on Hims, where Husam al-Din the Jawkandar, al-Mansur of Hamah and al-Ashraf of Hims met them with 1,400 against 6,000; a single sincere charge put the sword among them until most were destroyed and their leader Bundar fled in the worst state — only one Muslim fell 1.

The battle
Ibn al-Imad says that Husam al-Din al-Jukandar, the lord of Hama al-Mansur and the lord of Homs al-Ashraf, were at Homs with fourteen hundred men, and the Tatars with six thousand. The Muslims charged with true resolve and won the victory. They destroyed most of the Tatars, and their commander Bindara fled. Ibn al-Imad says that only one man of the Muslims was killed. 1
