Battle of Sulaymaniyan (concept)
The Battle of Sulaymaniyan took place in 658, with the Ritualist warlord Khuzaima al-Zuhra marching on the settlement to reclaim it for its Suleimani'a population. Under Wardenite control, Khuzaima was ambushed three times on his way to the settlement by Khalid al-Asir, who wreaked havoc in Khuzaima's camp and dealt him great casualties. Though Khuzaima contemplated retreat, much of his remaining army was comprised of Zatani'a zealots who would revolt or desert en masse were he to do so - not to mention that the greatest of his Mubaaizun, Fihr ibn Kilab ibn Zayd was a Zatani'a himself.
Khuzaima continued on his way to Sulaymaniyan, where he conducted a siege of the settlement. Khalid al-Asir committed many night raids on Khuzaima until the second week into the siege, when he fought the warlord in a pitched battle. Khuzaima was shot in the throat by the archer Haziz ibn Qareh, and Khuzaima's greatest champion - Fihr - either died of grief or fell on his own sword moments later. Though Khuzaima's Zatani'a soldiers and Mubaaizun fought to the death, the rest of his army quickly fled the battle.
In the aftermath of the battle, Khalid had the Ritualists buried, sending Khuzaima's body back to the Black Confederation, though he cut off Fihr's head and kept it as a trophy.
