Battle between Caliphate and Sassanids in 633
Battle of Saniyy was between the Muslim Arab army and the Sasanian Empire. When Khalid ibn Walid had gone from Ayn al-Tamr to Dumat Al-Jandal for the help of Iyad ibn Ghanm, the Persian court believed that Khalid had returned to Arabia with a large part of his army, Persians decided to throw the Muslims back into the desert and regain the territories and the prestige which the Empire had lost.
