Battle of the Yarmuk

A great battle between the Muslims and the Byzantines near the meeting of the Yarmuk river and the Wadi al-Rukkad, which decided the fate of Byzantine Syria. The Encyclopaedia of Islam says it lasted more than a month with the preliminary manoeuvres and ended on 12 Rajab 15 AH, 20 August 636, when the Muslims under Abu Ubayda ibn al-Jarrah drew the Byzantines in and Khalid ibn al-Walid seized their bridge in a night raid. Arabic sources differ on the year: al-Tabari reports 15 AH from al-Waqidi and 13 AH from Sayf, and al-Baladhuri tells of Heraclius's hosts, the women who fought and the effect on the people of Homs.
