Battle of al-QÄdisiyyah
The Battle of al-QÄdisiyyah (; transliteration, Ma'raka al-QÄdisiyyah; ; alternate spellings: Qadisiyya, Qadisiyyah, Kadisiya) was the decisive engagement between the Arab Muslim army and the Sassanid Persian army during the first period of Muslim expansion which resulted in the Islamic conquest of Persia. Although there is little doubt that this battle occurred, scholarship suggests that its legend has grown manyfold and a whole mythological literature (full of topoi) has developed around it.
