Rabia had a number of sons, and they were: Kulaib, Salem, who was called Al-Zeer or Al-Mahalhal, Dara’an and others. He had one of the daughters, beautiful in appearance and character, named Hyena. As for Prince Murra, a number of sons were born to him, including Jassas, Hammam, and a beautiful and noble girl called Al-Jalila.

Beginning of the story

The story began about 100 years or more before the migration. The beginning of the story is related to the events that preceded it, when Rabia Abu al-Zir Salem raided the Canadian king and defeated him in the Battle of Salalah, which led to the latter resorting to the help of the Yemeni followers against al-Rabia, who sent an army with which al-Rabia captured and killed him. In order for the two sons of Al-Rabiah to become, according to the Yemeni followers, an upcoming revenge, despite their young age at the time.

Story events

Kulaib, the brother of Al-Zeer Salem, the leader of the Rabia tribe, grew up, and he loved his cousin Jalila very much, but her father married her to the king of Al-Tabaa, after he gave her tribe boxes full of gold, and as a result, Kulaib decided to gather the youth of the tribe, and they hid in boxes carrying the belongings of the bride Jalila. And when they reached the palace, they left it and killed the king at night, and it is worth noting that Al-Zir Salem was a young child at that time.

Kleib returned to Jalila to the tribe again, and married her after a while, but her brother Jassas was furious with Kleeb for his unbearable power, until a day came when Al-Basous - who is Jassas's aunt - left her camel to graze with Jassas' camels, until Kleeb saw her, who was unable to Only his relatives are allowed to graze in this fever, so he hit her with an arrow that hit her udder and killed her, and in another narration that this camel was for a guest who stayed at Al-Basous, so she screamed when she learned of her death because he was helping him to trespass on the property of the guest of humiliation and disgrace, so Jassas told her: Shut up I will kill her (Alla), who is the stallion of Kulaib's camel, and accordingly, a spy began to monitor this Kulaib.

Murder clip Mudarm war

The grudges increased due to the power of Clip and his actions until the torrent reached the scum on the day a group of women went out to the water resources, so Clip prevented them from them, and there was with them a group of knights to protect them, and among them were Jasas and Amr bin Al-Harith, who fell in love with Clip after they recalled the story of the camel of Al-Basous, which raised the diet in the blood of the spy. And he pushed him to stab Kleib, so Kleib asked Al-Jassas for a drink of water while he was suffering from death throes, so that Amr bin Al-Harith dismounted from his horse and finished him off.

Jassas knew that what he had done would ignite the fires of war that would not be extinguished easily, so his family came and revealed his knees, and told them what he had done, so people raced with the news to deliver it to Hammam and Nadima al-Zeer, who buried his brother and mourned him for years, in which people thought that he had forgotten his revenge, until he became safe once and his children Al-Zir got angry, so they returned home, so that Al-Zir would then wake up to the war and gather around him the knights he knew, and roll up his arms.

The scourge of war

Following the killing of Kleib, the two tribes fought several wars in which women, children, and even men suffered innumerable calamities, in which the Bakri tribes were divided between supporters and opponents. Among the most prominent of these incidents were five; They are: the Day of Sins - and in which Hammam bin Murra was killed - and the Day of Wardat, and the Day of Unaizah, and the Day of Al-Qasaibat, and the Day of Shaving the Limbs, and the war did not end in them despite the intervention of many tribes to extinguish their fire.

end of story

Al-Muhalhal was no longer that brave knight who mobilized armies and incited them to take revenge at his word, especially since the tribes had been exhausted by war and resorted to reconciliation, except that Al-Muhalhal returned and overturned him when he raided Qais bin Thalabah, so Amr bin Malik won him and captured him and was kind to him, until that He heard him reciting poetry about his daughter once while he was drunk, so he swore not to give him a drink of water until he received Al-Khadir, and Al-Khadir was a camel that did not receive water until the seventh day, so he did not respond except that the sleazy had already perished, and it is indicated in another narration that Al-Zeer was killed by two of his His servants, who had been placed to serve him while they were traveling with him, was thus the end of those who spent their lives seeking revenge and following the path of death until it was long.

As for Jassas, he was killed by Al-Hagras Ibn Kulaib from his wife, Jalila, with a spear stabbed in his chest, and he came out from his back, after the young man was able to defeat the pre-Islamic fanaticism that calls for revenge until he forgot the blood bond that unites him with his maternal uncle.
