  • Battle of Tawahin: Muslim forces (4,000 men) of the Abbasid Caliphate, under Al-Mu'tadid, are defeated near Ramlah (modern Israel) by Khumarawayh, ruler of the Tulunid dynasty. This ends the Abbasid attempt to recover Syria from the Tulunids. A large part of the Abbasid army is captured, and transported to Egypt. Khumarawayh aims for reconciliation with the caliphal government, and allows the soldiers who want to return to modern-day Iraq to depart without ransom, while offering the rest the opportunity to settle in Egypt.{{EI2 | volume = 5 | title = K̲h̲umārawayh | first = U. | last = Haarmann | authorlink = | page = 49 | doi =10.1163/1573-3912_islam_SIM_4328 }}{{cite encyclopedia | title = Khumārawaih | first = Moritz | last = Sobernheim | encyclopedia = E.J.
