He wasn't in this battle it was Sa'ad ibn abi waqqas

Same here.

💯

He wasn't much of a hero tough According to AL tabari and ibn khaldun, He massacred civilians in istakhr and ctisephon, enslaved women and children. His river of blood is famous in masscare of istakhr where almost 15000 people got decapitated

the thing is becouse of the late sassanian wars with every one after the battle of ninevah with heracleus it had only 9,000 man left(this is not accounting for the plague that killed at least a thired of the population) if you notice islamic wars are the only battles where the sassanian army was majority infantry showing the soldiers of these wars were just farmars and not real soldiers these battles are just storys(the earliest sources of islamic history we have is at best wroten 201 years after muhammad what do you expect)you look at persian roman wars the persians were almost always out numbered but almost always won so do yourself a favor and stop beliving these storys go look at the tactics and storys of battles like yarmuk and tell me do they make the slightest sense also almost all other battles the arabs have had have been losses so dont compare these storys with real ones

@@arianrezaie4729 arabs destroyed the romans too , and at the ame time during they wars against persia , what saved the romans is their geography otherwise they wouldve been destroyed completely just like persia the weak nation.

@@arianrezaie4729 Arabs destroyed the whole persian empire and maybe that is the reason you can't find a reliable sources to describe the persian point of view btw the arabs history books said that the sassanids were always larger than the arabs Muslims also arabs were fighting on two fronts against the Byzantine in the western north and against the Sassanids in the east and before that arabs fought against each other in the reda wars that killed many of them after Muhammad died many arab tribes left Islam again so if you try to find a silly argument to justify why the Persians lost their empire quickly just rethink again because even the arabs sources mentioned that even they as arabs lost many battles and it was never about numbers it was a complex of many elements .

@@annzsalamov7657 Most civilisations have held strong religious beliefs and armies that included religious zealots, including the vikings and mongols. It's definitely more a case of a harsh life breeding hard people

A new ideology or belief that makes people think that said ideology/belief is worth fighting/dying for, that greatly inspires men to such heights. That helps alot too. ie: Revolutionary France, American war of Independence and Civil war, The Crusades, and in this case Islam.

Oldest Arab trick in the book. they are elite duelists and I suspect they had fun while dueling enemy commanders.

The had an elite duelist unit pose as commanders...

@@chedabu A rather weak claim. Most arab commanders were installed as commanders by merit, in other words, they were the best of the best warriors. Much like the mongol commanders installed by genghis.

Sounds like fantasie and propaganda. Like Constantin seeing a cross in the heavens before battle, it's just something written by the victorious elite to glorify themselves and pacify the population with tribalism

@@Solidoaf its true every arab tribe had elite warriors from the elite families, like the bani hanifa tribe and of course the quraysh, in fact the caliph of the time was umar ibn al khattab, possibly the greatest companion of the prophet and the cousin of khalid ibn al walid, he was said to be so tall that it looked like he was in horseback, he was also one of the few literate people in the tribe of quraysh

They were outnumbered if you were to believe the only source of this wars, their so called "hadiths",religious stories which are "said" to have been narrated by their religious leaders

they had no special structure or special weapons... Actually their army was quite basic compared to the Parisians or Byzantines

@@KAD132 they did have completely different army, with a completely different set of advantages(primary one being the combination of their lifestyle and Arabic horse) and different tactics coming down from them(ironically - very different to those commonly perceived: very little or no special focus on horse archery, for example, which runs directly against common image), all this reinforced by religious zeal and sense of belonging to something larger. It took Byzantines a looong time to find effective antidots against this "basic" army, and Persians never ev even had the chance. By the time Eastern Roman empire got it, however, it was essentially crippled.

Siavash Nikvand well most of medieval sources are unreliable, which is why historians try to use other clues to make judgment. But the early Islamic conquests has corroborating evidence from non-Islamic sources and it’s widely accepted they were outnumbered.

Jose Raul Miguens Cruz I was talking about their ethics of war, it is forbidden for a Muslim to flee from the battlefield. “Ima Nasar ow ima Shahadah” so either Victory or Martyrdom.

@Lachlan Allen But the persians were better at war, they had fought long battles with the Romans, what you are missing here is the fact that most of the Muslim Army was volunteer army , people who choose to go to war, and they had a something bigger then themselves to fight for. the defections in the Sassanian ranks had always been in the method of recruitment and the heavy taxes on the general population along with a strict hierarchical society , where as the Muslim army offered them lower taxes and security and a very flexible social hierarchy where equality is ideological rather then based on ethnicity or social stratification. Humans crave nothing more than respect and dignity and many a times its above the love of life itself. Hearts and minds people.. hearts and minds.

Lachlan Allen I’was refering to early Muslims, the 10.000 thousends of saints prophecied in the Bible. Without their Faith which gave them confidence, courage and bravery to bring planning and tactics in the table while engaging in a war with two superpowers of that time and defeating them, we wouldn’t be here today commenting about these events. And he said, The LORD came from Si'nai, and rose up from Se'-ir unto them, he shined forth from mount Pa'-ran [Mecca in Arabic], and he came with ten thousands of saints [the army of the Muslims that liberated Mecca was made of 10.000 men]: from his right hand went a fiery law for them. (The King James Version Bible, Deuteronomy 33:2).

They are know that one of biggest achievement of mankind was to die at battle in the name of God, so that i think - as khalid himself says "you should know that I have come to you with an army of men that love death, as you love life".

Because Muslim commanders were appointed by their sheer talent and were the best worriers in their camps. this is the one reason. there may be other reasons also.

Because they became commanders by merit.. most of them were known warriors before being elected by the Kalif and his generals

I appreciate the responses, it sounds like the Islamic/Muslim system could be described as highly meritocratic. As with most warrior culture (Vikings or Hun), successful combat and conquest equated to higher social status.

It’s mostly due to that they wanted to be killed in battle. How do you fight a enemy that doesn’t fear death?

If the Islamic caliphate and expansion were not done, it will have the same fate as Christianity. Teachings of Prophet Muhammad will be taken by Romans or Persians to their advantage and completely change the original message of the religion. This is what happened when Christianity fell in hands of Romans. So Islam established its own powerhouse to spread the message unaltered without giving a chance for Persians and Romans.

@@tajrasti انته عربي و ما تعرف القعقاع

My friend even arabia was ethnically mixed with time.... Indian and iranian influence on the east coast, african influence in hijaz and the west. And a great mix in mekka and jeddah due to hajj. All areas are mixed, and many families in lebanon and syria can trace their origin to yemen even before islam, others come from caucasus, central asia, even al andalus when it fell But they all have the same arab culture, with slight differences

What you say is true, but also the opposite happened sometimes. The Levant was largely depopulated because of plagues, earthquakes, and wars. Muslims had to settle tribes from arabia to protect the coast. Like the tannoukhis near beirut. Those tribes with time became what we know as the druze, and some of the maronites. So you see the lines are never clear when it comes to origins. However i do agree that the arabic peninsula was less affected then other areas like the levant.

​@@abdullahshah9397 Respectfully, that second paragraph is very not true. I speak Arabic fluently and I've read and listened to a lot of lectures about the history of different Islamic states, over the course of the past ten years. Right of the bat, I can tell you that it makes no sense to throw a blanket statement like you did in your WHOLE second paragraph. Is is true for certain parts at certain times. It would have been ALMOST acceptable if you described the umayyad/rashidun period with that statement :) The least you could do to topic so dense is to focus on a region within a reasonable time frame. Do you truly think Arabs just stayed in the peninsula until the 18th century?? heck they were leaving in droves before islam, why stop? Every hundred to two hundred the peninsula becomes unable to provide enough food and water, and a wave migrates. Sometimes they get lucky and their migration becomes an epic with some crazy exaggerations, see the banu hilal migration. This happened before islam (rabeea/taghlib) and after islam. This happened due to factors mostly unchanged by islam, and where changed, they made migration even easier. Example, Abbasid period of weakness, taghlib's banu hamdan, and their ridicicously insane luck of having al mutannabbi be their ministry of propaganda When syria and southern iraq were conquered, there were already many arabs living there. In syria, it was tanukh, lakhm, jutham, al jafna, and others I cant recall who allmigrated out of yemen in waves, all pre islamic and quite old. The same can be said about the arabs of southern iraq (al munther kings, arch rivals of the ghassan kings of damascus (jillaq). Both were of yemeni origin, and both became christians sometime around 300-400 AD. The area between Iraq and syria (an area we call al jazira; the island, as it lies between the tigres and euphrates) was also already heavily arabized when conquered, and were also christian. They were staunchly christian, and refused to convert. Since they were very pro umayyad, they were basically allowed to live like the rest of the arab tribes who adopted islam, under state protection. Heck they even carried crosses and holy relics on their banners when they fought enemies of the umayyads, like when Umair ibn Al habab was killed. See the story about Akhtal's poetry that caused a distant relative of Umair to commit a massacre straight out of the mongol cookbook. Historians claim he killed 23K people (al bishr clan from taghlib bin wael from rabeea, Akhtal's home boys), but realistically , he probably killed 2-3 K people (a huge amount of people when you consider arab tribe numbers at the time). Apparently the poet who instigated this was actually captured by avenging madlads, but when asked he said he just a slave so they let him go. These jazira arabs were from Rabeea, of Najdi origin. They were fought out of Najd because the two biggest clans within rabeea fought an exhaustive civil war (bakr vs taghlib, basoos war). On the other hand, other places like persia proper (Bilad Faris), egypt, nuba, north africa, and iberia did not have arabs living there when they were conquered. Caliphs had to encourage migrations once the intial wave of expansion died. They even allowed some absolutely ridiculous shenanigans to happen like gathering jizya from berber and visigothic MUSLIMS as an additional tax... The one place arabs did not need encouragement was Khorasan. They just kept coming, and where it not for abu muslim al khorasani, they might be speaking arabic today. So why am I going in to this much detail? to show many examples of areas heavily arabized pre islamic expansion, some that only got arabized much later, some which did and where then de-arabized, and some that were never arabized. Northern Jazira was already called diyar bakr / diyar rabeea (diyar = home of) by the time of islam. In addition to clan/tibe migrations, there was an almost non stop steam of traders and merchants (mostly from Hadramut) spreading islam on the indian and malay coast, and very slowly becoming integrated. While theres a sizable population there now of arab ancestry, the numbers were never high enough to arabize the region. How big does the wave have to be? at least as big as the banu hilal I guess, but I doubt they migrated alone. Al Jabarti has good books about egyption mamluk/ottoman periods iirc. They were easy to get into, mostly motivated by stories about Muhammad Ali and da albanian boyz (very underrated character) and to find out more about my own yemeni ancestors (Hamdan) moved from yemen, to the levant, to upper egypt, and then to sudan. Yes upper Egypt was flooded by nomadic arabs (26 clans, each with many subclans) during that early Alawid period, but there was already a big arab population from streams of newer immigrants and decedents of the orginal waves (see history of al fustaat) in egypt. This is such a dense topic and the more you dive and learn the more questions you will have. So it just saddens me to see huuuge oversimplifications. I wrote this quickly, all of the top of my very tired head, before I pass out, so I hope it all makes sense lol. I will try edit it tomorrow if it sounds too stupid.

But it's also a fact that Tariq leaded the invasion and the Muslim forces in the Battle of Guadalete, and the initial invasion wasn't even sactioned by the Caliph Walid I.

there was no reconquista wars that lasted for 700 years !! it was revisited term used by latter historians to paint the "other" story & "us" vs "them" point of view ! the real reconquista maybe lasted about 50 years or something. it was border normal expansions, from faction to faction, sometimes the Iberians & Emirate of Cordoba are in Peace & sometimes at war, and after 700 years the total existence of Muslims reduced, then expelled.

If you like there is lots of studies on this matter , check out lectures and papers on this . Info given by this channel lacks crucial information and not very accurate . You can check out that at the end of sassanid empire there were internal struggle , generals and nobles not supporting royal command and rivalry sky rocketed . There are vary speculations and theories . Nobles and generals may have not supported yazdgerd because him and his mother were christian !

@Karim Hassan Gemiey very good points . Yet there are many speculations about this era , even recent archeology and studies . Here are some other points: About persia , there are records of taxing that shows in time of arab rule taxes were higher 6 times that shows economic strife might not helped sassanid fall . Lack of leadership and support for yazdgerd because of his christianity might have beed important. khosrow anoushirvan made significant changes in the empire that made it self sufficient and structurally resistance and this alone might have caused independence from central rule in time of arab invasion , as we see persian coins minted as independent lords in many regions in time of arab invasion that shows not a complete conquest but overthrow of a king .

@@stehfreejesseah7893 did you watch that video

@@stehfreejesseah7893 well they also explained the reason for the battle series but yes they did not show the major and minor battles of that time,but mentioned the overall campaign

I think they have already covered some major conflicts between the two powers but that would also be epic.

These battle will be hard to cover because they will spark too many arguments (religious arguments).. And most sources of these battle are one sided and will be hard to present realistically and objectively without falling to a specific narrative

@@gerardb5220 nope

Oh yeah!! Forgive my English it's not that good haha :)

Good explanation, however, other factors play a role aswell. There is a saying: 'A great empire is not destroyed from without untill it had destroyed itself from within' You cannot understand the Arab victories over the Persians without taking into account the situation within the Persian empire. The empire was severely weakened by the disastarous wars with the Romans. Lost many competent commanders, soldiers, officers and lost a lot of wealth aswell. Population was heavily taxed during the war(602-628) and so the Shah was very unpopular. Khosrow 2 was deposed and killed and a civil war started. The Arabs found out about this and knew the empire was weak. Thats why they striked in the first place. The Arabs just did the knock out blow to the Persian empire, while the Persians themselves weakened themselves by incompetence. Of crouse the brilliance of commanders such as Khalid Ibn Walleed played a role, aswell as superior strategy and morale from Arabs. However, I seriously doubt if the Arabs wouldv'e toppled the Persian empire would it have been at its strongest, without and war with the Romans, and with plently of wealth and popular support.

@@Siyar612 That did happen in Dhi Qar where Bakr ibn Wa’el and some other tribes of NE Arabia stood up to the persians and annihilated them , the entire persian army or at least a large amount of it was sent to destroy Bakr and enslave their women , and the persians failed , there’s also the battle of Saloot in Oman where Azdi Arabs and a small amount of Arabs from Quda’ah ( Tribe name ) approximately 300 pushed the Persians back out of Oman

Alright I'm gonna end this man's whole carrier.

@M Mehdi yes my son the falcon of Quraish himself ☝️☝️😁

@Mehmed Mehdi brother those are companions of the prophet they are the best people

fathers of daesh and al qaeda

@@mihandoostan3755 lmao, the only father for al qaeda and adesh is USA, they created their barbaric ideology and radical ideas, supported with weapons and money, Islam has nothing to do with any of these groups, if anyone has anything to do with them it's your secular and liberal corrupt and hypocrite leaders

@Rdb 1480 wow 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Here have a cookie 🍪

The custom back then was to duel your opponent, but the Persians were used to gladiator-style combat with armor and helmets. The Arabs were a blood feud society where duels were common and swordsmanship was a common skill. It would be like a New Yorker challenging a Texan to a shootout- the culture is just too much to contend with

@@gerardb5220 No Gerard! Some people do like to hear about Fares's religion and don't think he should "keep it to himself and his home".

@@gerardb5220 Isn't that typical, Gerard? Why won't a muslim be proud of what their ancestors have worked hard for and conquered. We, in no way, look down on your civilization and neither does our prophet. He even banned us from cursing your gods and/or religions. So, no, it is not "hypocritical"

Fares Ayham is right Gerard! There are only two books we take our facts from and we are not in need to look at the books you mentioned for our complete trust in those two books and the most truthful details they contain.

@GoodGirlKate Good girl, Katie 😁

@@rocketleague2136 The Sassanians, and most Persian empires, were cultural centres of learning and governance. The Greeks learnt from the Persians how to administer an Empire and passed it to the Romans then it went through them to Europe. The Arabs learnt from them too. I think it's reasonable to be sad about the last Persian Empire's fall. It was the never the same after Islam. Zoroastrianism wasn't an oppressive religion like Sunni Islam, Hinduism or Catholicism.

@Patrick Cossack The Kurds have been hired by the USA to overthrow the Sadam Hussein and ISIS. Other Iraqi and Afghani tribes were paid money by the West to be friendly to them. Nepali soldiers fight for India and the UK. The French Foreign legion is full of non Frenchmen, it also controls West African currency to control them. Russia is using the Syrian government to further geopolitical goals in the Middle East. The EU is backing a corrupt Libyan government with no power to further it's goals in Libya. It's not hard to see Western nations meddling in other countries and using money to pay for others to fight for them.

Not true for these two empires. Romans had powerful arminian and slavic divisions among them,in yarmouk they fielded their best units that almost broke down the enemy army. Yet their cavalry was bad.

@@rocketleague2136 even the abbasids tryed to imitate them and they did such a jub that no one not even the ottomans felt legitimizing their wars with the abbasids was unnecessary

@@gerardb5220 Agreed. The Byzantine/Sassanian balance of power and mutual understanding of eachother limited warfare to border skirmishes and a handful of long cmapaigns. By smashing the existing balance of power the Rashidun caliphate, upon it's death, blew the area up into small warring states. It did not benefit the area at all and the Jizya tax was used as a way of moving wealth out if those areas into places where there is no resource wealth (the desert) or existing trade flow. This contributed to the permanent downgrade of wealth in the entire middle East and centuries of Jizya wealth rebalancing and inter-Arabian warfare makes the Middle East what it is today. The fall of the Sassanians and Byzantines was indeed a catastrophe.

Bruh what a name you have lmao Only Arab speakers would appreciate it.

@@khalildz1552 All hail me, God of Rome, Venus manifest herself! I wanted to make it longer to include all of the legitimate titles of our lord and saviour.. including "Builder of Mandatory Public Whorhouses".. but technical limitations of Google+ have prevented the intention from succeeding.

@@khalildz1552 I love Rome and its mythos and civilization in general. I'm not a fan of Yulius Kaesar considering his very very cruel subjication and semi-genocide in Gaul. But yea overall I love archaic Roman military, probably my favourite of ancient time after the Assyrians. I was referencing a book calle "Gore Vidal's Caligula" based on Gore Vidal's script for the movie Caligula.

@@khalildz1552 I am planning to.

Khalid bin al waleed and saad bin abi waqqas from the same tribe prophet tribe named quraysh but from different branches

اخي العرب عاشوا في العراق منذ زمن الاكاديين

Khalid Ibn Al Walid was the luck of Muslim State really. Without a brilliant general and likes of him, maybe we wouldnt have that much of a Muslim population today. History is just weird. It shows that role and impact of these few men changed the life today..

The Muslim conquest owes it's victories to the mutual destruction of the Byzantines and the Sassanids. By the time they were done wearing themselves out, only idiots were left in the position of political and military leadership with no champions-- most of the capable men were gone. Contrary to the Islamic sources, the Arabs were knowledgeable and experienced soldiers-- they have been serving as mercenaries to both great empires. The Byzantium was already on its way out already and no longer a great Roman empire due to the activities of the Barbarians and the loss of political unity with the Western Roman hemisphere. Another thing to consider is that the Mohammed of the Quran and Islamic sources is a myth of the Ummayad dynasty. The man who rallied the Arabs under one banner was an enlightened prince of Arab origin familiar with Sassanid politics. He was later given the title Mohammed-- the exalted one. He was an ardent follower of a heretic Jewish sect. His name is Iyas ibn Qabisah.

@@thehandofjibreel8756 can i get the sources?

The Hand Of Jibreel If each time you fill stronger armies and still lose to fewer numbers. Then sorry. Numbers don’t make victories.

@@Omegaeon1 quality also plays a lot in that case though. I mean the Islamic expansion have their best quality armies facing off against mostly levied troops. And if the Arab army was indeed largely tribal in nature, then it is no surprise (sure by hindsight proven by various Turkic tribes and the Mongols) they overwhelmed both Sedentary empires by bringing high quality and motivated troops (not to mention the religious zeal).

@Karim Hassan Gemiey it was not only the walls that made Constantinople impossible to conquer (it was attacked, many times) but the fact that it was surrounded by sea with the Mediterranean to the south and the Black Sea to the east and north. This made the city impossible to put under siege because it could be easily supplied and reinforced. The Byzantines also employed some mythical innovation called "Greek Fire" to eradicate enemy navies.

Hdye Hdhde yeah back then morale was everything and Islam and Proper Jihad essentially gave the warriors a reservation in Heaven as long as they fight for god so dying wasn’t some horrifying truth, it was a promotion

@@a.h.tvideomapping4293 like the vikings

Basically it was WIN-WIN situation for muslim soldiers. You die you go to heaven, or win.

When you are used to doing battles that always ended with a rout it becomes hard to figure out on the spot how to face extremist zealots on par with modern terrorists just willing to fall on your sword just to stab you in the guts. Same thing happened to the Aztecs, they were used to a mode of warfare that revolved around capturing their enemies alive for sacrifice and had no idea how to react when a superior enemy just slaughtered everyone.

Hdye Hdhde one believed in Allah and the other worshipped fire 🔥
