Bayt ʽUqab first appears in historical sources in the year 903 (290 AH).[2] In April or May of that year, the Al Tarif general Ibrahim ibn Khalaf camped at Bayt ʽUqab during a campaign against al-Hadi ila'l-Haqq Yahya, the first Imam of Yemen.[3] The two armies fought a battle at Bayt Hadir, 5 km west-southwest of Bayt ʽUqab; the Al Tarif were defeated and had to retreat.[3]
