Ramadan in History |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
After the conquest of Egypt Amr bin El-`Aas sent an expedition under the leadership of `Uqba Ibn Nafi’ and there Muslims fought very courageously against the Nubians who showed a strong resistance, for they had great marksmanship and managed to hurt a great number of the Companions and pocked out the eyes of many of them, and that's why they were called "eyes scoopers" . This battle however resulted in an agreement between both sides and a truce that lasted until the reign of `Othman bin `Affan, when Abdullah bin Abi as-Sarh became the ruler of Egypt. The Nubians then broke the agreement and attacked Upper Egypt and started destroying everything they could reach, so Abdullah bin Abi As-Sarh went to stop them in an army of 20,000 fighters and chased them to the south until he reached their capital Dongle and besieged it firmly shooting them with the mangonels and preventing them from going anywhere. Losing control, the Nubians surrendered; King Kulaydour of the Nubians then asked for a new treaty, begging Abdullah to show them mercy; then a new treaty was signed.
