Genealogy of Our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and Some Accounts of His Forefathers and Ancestors
[ انْتِصَارُ أَرْيَاطَ وَهَزِيمَةُ ذِي نُوَاسٍ وَمَوْتُهُ ] فَقَدِمَ دَوْسٌ عَلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ بِكِتَابِ قَيْصَرَ، فَبَعَثَ مَعَهُ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا مِنْ الْحَبَشَةِ، وَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَرْيَاطُ، وَمَعَهُ فِي جُنْدِهِ أَبْرَهَةُ الْأَشْرَمُ، فَرَكِبَ أَرْيَاطُ الْبَحْرَ حَتَّى نَزَلَ بِسَاحِلِ الْيَمَنِ، وَمَعَهُ دَوْسٌ ذُو ثَعْلَبَانَ، وَسَارَ إلَيْهِ ذُو نُوَاسٍ فِي حِمْيَرَ، وَمَنْ أَطَاعَهُ مِنْ قَبَائِلِ الْيَمَنِ، فَلَمَّا الْتَقَوْا انْهَزَمَ ذُو نُوَاسٍ وَأَصْحَابُهُ. فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذُو نُوَاسٍ مَا نَزَلَ بِهِ وَبِقَوْمِهِ وَجَّهَ فَرَسَهُ فِي الْبَحْرِ، ثُمَّ ضَرَبَهُ فَدَخَلَ بِهِ، فَخَاضَ بِهِ ضَحْضَاحَ الْبَحْرِ، حَتَّى أَفْضَى بِهِ إلَى غَمْرِهِ، فَأَدْخَلَهُ فِيهِ، وَكَانَ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ بِهِ. وَدَخَلَ أَرْيَاطُ الْيَمَنَ، فَمَلَكَهَا.
Translation
✧ [Aryāṭ’s Victory, Dhū Nuwās’s Defeat, and His Death] Daws came to the Negus with Caesar’s letter, so he sent with him seventy thousand Abyssinians and appointed over them a man of theirs called Aryāṭ, and in his army was Abrahah al-Ashram. Aryāṭ rode the sea until he landed on the coast of Yemen, and with him was Daws Dhū Thaʿlaban. Dhū Nuwās marched against him among Ḥimyar and those of the tribes of Yemen who obeyed him. When they met, Dhū Nuwās and his companions were routed. When Dhū Nuwās saw what had befallen him and his people, he turned his horse toward the sea, then struck it and entered with it, and it waded with him through the shallows of the sea until it brought him to its deep water, and he plunged it in, and that was the last sight of him. Aryāṭ entered Yemen and took possession of it.
