The Battle of Abraq took place in the Abraq area, located about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) north of Al Hinakiyah, in the Nejd region, in the central-western part of Saudi Arabia, in mid-August 632. It pitted the forces of the Rashidun Caliphate, led by Caliph Abu Bakr As-Siddiq, against rebellious Arab tribes led, according to Agha Ali Ibrahim Akram, by General Hibal ibn Khuwailid.[4][note 5]
This victory for the Rashidun Caliphate marked the end of defensive operations for Medina,[1] the beginning of large-scale offensive planning throughout the Arabian Peninsula by Abu Bakr as-Siddiq,[5][2][6] and the regrouping of the defeated tribes, fleeing the battle, into a unified force at Buzakha.[1][2][7]
