Either after The aim of this study is to shed light on the most important battles that took place during the era of The Rashidiya Caliphate, Which was one of the major battles in Islamic history since the beginning of the Islamic conquest movement, to liberate the regions and cities that were under the control of the Roman and Persian Empire, which lasted for many centuries, so this battle is the first great battles of Muslims against the Romans in Palestine, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), the first brigade to open the Levant, to the companions of Khalid bin Said bin al-Aas and ordered him to camp in Taima north of the Hijaz, and recommended not to start the fight unless he is dead, and the companion meant by that the army of Khaled could provide help and support when necessary, and keep eyes on the moves of the Roman not to be a vanguard for the conquest of the Levant.
