In Arabic literature, the days of the Arabs (Arabic: أيام العرب, romanized: ayyām al-ʿArab) are a set of incidents from pre-Islamic Arabia.[1] They are the oldest extant Arabic narratives.[2][3][4][5] The days are mostly stories of raids and battles among tribes of Arabia.[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]
