Al-Mundhir VI ibn al-Nu'man (Arabic: المنذر بن النعمان) also known by the title al-Ma'rur was the final member of the Lakhmid dynasty to exert power and rule over the ancient city of Al-Hira. He was a son of Al-Nu'man III ibn al-Mundhir and succeeded the Persian governor Azadbeh, hence temporarily restoring the rule of Al-Hira to Lakhmid control. His reign was short, about merely 8 months.
Al-Mundhir was a son of Al-Nu'man III ibn al-Mundhir. He also held the title al-Ma'rur. He is from the family of the Lakhmids, and not much is known from his early life.[1]
The Persian governor, Azadbeh, fled from his rule over Al-Hira in 633 CE after the city faced invasions from the Muslim armies of the Rashidun Caliphate.[2] The rule returned to the family of Lakhm, with Al-Mundhir assuming power.[3] However, his reign lasted for only eight months before the Muslim armies led by Khalid ibn al-Walid advanced on his territories. According to the historian Muhammad ibn Habib al-Baghdadi, Al-Mundhir was killed in a battle against the Muslims at a place known as Jawatha (present-day Al-Ahsa Governorate).[4]
Al-Mundhir was the last Lakhmid ruler of Al-Hira. His death signified the end of the ruling dynasty. Muslims would rule Al-Hira and other areas of Mesopotamia after the Battle of Hira in 633 CE, the same year of his death.[5]
Al-Mundhir VI might have been a Nestorian Christian, as the Lakhmids themselves were Nestorians.[6] However, Ibn Habib mentioned in the Kitāb al-Muḥabbar that Al-Mundhir was an "apostate" which implies he may have converted to Islam and then left the faith afterwards.
