Rimush vs Sajah bint al-Harith

Rimush, son of Sargon, crushed a rebellion in Ur, killing many and taking captives. Inscriptions record the destruction of the city's walls and the execution of rebel leaders. This was part of a series of revolts that broke out after Sargon's death, which Rimush suppressed with force.

Rimush led a military campaign against Elam and Warahshe, defeating their combined forces. He captured the king of Warahshe and took booty from the region. This campaign secured the eastern borders of the Akkadian Empire and demonstrated Rimush's military capability.

Rimush was assassinated by his courtiers, as recorded in later Babylonian chronicles. The exact circumstances are unclear, but it is believed that his harsh rule and brutal suppression of rebellions led to a palace conspiracy. His death paved the way for his brother Manishtushu to succeed him.

After her forces were weakened, Sajah allied with Musaylimah, the false prophet of Yamama. The alliance was short-lived; she eventually returned to her tribe and later converted to Islam.

Following the defeat of the Ridda rebellions, Sajah converted to Islam. She later lived quietly in Basra, with no further political or military activity recorded.

Sajah bint al-Harith declared herself a prophetess, gaining followers among the Banu Tamim tribe. She led a rebellion against the caliphate during the Ridda Wars, becoming the only known female false prophet of the period.
