After the defeat in Sabillah, Ikhwan tribesmen and government troops clashed again in the Jabal Shammar region, in August 1929, resulting in the deaths of some 1,000 men.^[1]

According to Ibn Saud Information Resource, the battle, fought between Ikhwan raiders under command of Azaiyiz, son of Faisal al-Dawish, and the Saudi forces of Shammar tribesmen, under the leadership of Nida bin Naheer, was "furious" and "many fell".^[2] The Ikhwan movement suffered many more casualties than the Shammer, and Nida from the Shammar fell in the battle.^[2]
