Battle of Namaraq (634 CE) was a conflict between Muslims and Persians[1] that occurred in Namaraq, near modern day Kufa (Iraq).[2] During the Khilafat of Hazrat Abu Bakr, Muslims under the command of Musana and Khalid bin Walid conquered Hira, a part of the Persian Empire. The Persians became furious and determined to recover Hira from the Muslims. Rustam, a famous Persian general was sent with a large army to fight against the Muslims. Khalid bin Walid had already left for Syria so Musana had to fight alone. Hazrat Umar sent Abu Ubaid with reinforcements. In the battle that followed the Persians were defeated.
