Days of the Arabs (Arabic: أيام العرب, romanized: Ayyām al-ʿArab) is a collection of the oldest extant Arabic narratives.[1][2][3][4][5]
It contains stories of raids and battles among Bedouin tribes of the Arabian Peninsula before Islam.[2] The text is prosimetric, containing alternating passages of prose and poetry.[2] Passages of poetry composed by the protagonists were included within prose stories, or after by the stories' transmitters or compilers.[2]
