The Battle of Nahrawan (Arabic: مَعْرَكَة النَّهْرَوَان, romanized: Ma'rakat an-Nahrawān) was fought between the largely Kufan forces of the fourth Rashidun caliph Ali and the Kharijites, who were primarily composed of qurra (Quran reciters) originating from across Iraq, in July 658 CE (Safar 38 AH). The latter were a group of former allies of Ali during the First Fitna.
