Overview
The war of the Ahlaf
Ibn al-Athir relates that he seized the opportunity of the war of Banu Nasr against the Ahlaf, for old grudges, and allied himself with the Banu Yarbu' against the Ahlaf. The battle of al-Ta'if was their first fight, and the Ahlaf routed him to the valley of Lahb and the slaughter of al-Aban. 2
