First Battle of Kulab

The First Battle of Kulab (Arabic: يوم الكلاب الأول, Yawm al-Kulāb al-Awwal) was a major conflict in pre-Islamic Arabia involving the Kingdom of Kinda and various tribes of the Rabi'ah and Tamim tribal confederations. Fought near a spring named Kulab in the Najd region, the battle is a centerpiece of the Ayyam al-Arab (Days of the Arabs) literary tradition, marking the collapse of Kindite hegemony over Central Arabia. Along with Dhi Qar and Shi'b Jabala, it is one of the most famous pre-Islamic battle-days.
