=== Preparations ===
The Aws put all of their efforts into gathering external support from other Arabian tribes, which was succesful with the [[Ghassanids]].<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /> The Khazraj were unable to gain external support, so the whole group of Khazraj tribes, their branches included, were required to fight in the battle.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />
=== Day of Bu'ath ===
This day, known as the Day of Bu'ath, was when the actual battle itself occurred.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /> Both armies met at a place known as Bu'ath, where they began the fighting. The Aws were losing at first; but then their chief, Hudayr al-Kata'ib ibn Simak al-Ashhali, shouted out to the Aws and reminded them of the evils and injustice done by the Khazraj towards their tribe.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /> The Aws, motivated by this, persisted in their fight and then managed to kill a large number of Khazraji tribal warriors including 'Amr ibn Nu'man al-Bayadi. The Khazraj were ultimately defeated by the sudden reversal of power and then sounded the retreat.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />
