According to the ancient Arab historians, and the early Muslim scholars The Tasm and Jadis were from "the extinct Arab" tribes. Tasm was an ally of Himyar Tasm took over Jadis. The king of Tasm's name was ‘Imliq. He used to deflower the brides of Jadis before they get married. Later Imliq was assassinated by someone from the tribe of Jadis. A person called Riyah from Tasm ran to Yemen asking for help from their ally.[1]At that time Tubba Asad Abu Malik-karib [2] was the king of Yemen. He asked his son Hassan to help Tasm. Hassan al-Himyari prepared an army and went to fight Jadis.[3][4]
