The Battle of Dhi Qar (Arabic: يوم ذي قار), also known as the War of the Camel's Udder,^[2] was a pre-Islamic battle fought between Arab tribes and the Sasanian Empire in Southern Iraq. The battle occurred after the death of Al-Nu'man III by the orders of Khosru II.^[3]

The dating of the event is disputed. The Encyclopædia Iranica entry on the subject says:

Discord Religion Debates (2023-2024)

The battle of Dhū-Qār is reported in many classical works of Arabic history and literature. The longest, but not necessarily most representative, version is Bishr ibn Marwān al-Asadī's Ḥarb Banī Shaybān maʻa Kisrá Ānūshirwān (Arabic: حرب بني شيبان مع كسرى آنوشروان).^[4]
