The war erupts between the chieftain of Banu Abs, Jadhima, and the chieftain of Banu al-Rayyan, Abu Rabab, because of the watermill. As a fierce war breaks out between them, Abu Rabab is killed at the hands of the chieftain of Banu Abs.

As Rabab decides to avenge her father, she kills Jadhima, whereupon antagonism ignites between her and his son, Zuhayr, who succeeds in killing her during the war. Zuhayr's mother decides to get him engaged to Tamadur, Zubayr's daughter, who refuses, so Zuhayr decides to reach her in his own way.

Zuhayr agrees with ibn Shaddad and his guards to hold Tamadur and her father Zubayr captives, and that he will come and save her from captivity and ask her to marry him. Meanwhile, ibn Shaddad saves the slave Zabeebah and her son Shayboub and makes her his concubine.

As Zabeebah is pregnant by her master ibn Shaddad, she gives birth and calls her baby Antarah. Ibn Shaddad thinks about recognizing him as his son, but is afraid of the Arabs. Moreover, Tamadur gives birth to her first child and the crown prince, Shas.

As years pass, the infant Antarah grows up, serves ibn Shaddad and ibn Malik, and looks forward to getting to know Ablah. As he learns martial arts and fencing, he is able with his strength to kill a slave of Shas's, but his mother warns him against abusing his strength and courage.

When El Rabei asks Zuhayr to lead a convoy to Okaz, Zuhayr suggests that he sends an Absi poet with him to do well there. El Rabei quarrels with Urwa ibn al-Ward, and he disavows his people Banu Abs. Antarah goes out to hunt a dangerous beast and ibn Shaddad looks for him as he worries about him.

After Antarah kills the beast, ibn Shaddad tells Zuhayr that Antarah killed it. Ibn Malik fears for ibn Shaddad when he tells him that he loves Antarah and asks him to sell Antarah, who learns about the emergence of the Islamic religion, and looks forward to traveling with the convoy to Mecca.

Ibn Shaddad tells ibn Malik that he is suspicious of El Rabei and his urgent desire to appoint guards from outside Banu Abs. Ibn Amer resents his companions' taking over the caravans, and Urwa agrees with him.

Ibn Shaddad tortures Antarah in front of people for riding horses without his permission, even though he managed to kill the bandits. As Ablah cries for him, her brother suspects her relationship with the slave Antarah. Meanwhile, King Zuhayr announces that the caravan is heading to Mecca in the spring.

Zuhayr suspects that ibn Shaddad is seeking to overthrow him. After Antarah kills El Rabei's slave, Malik is forced to ask El Rabei to gift him with the slave in order to save Antarah from the inevitable punishment for killing the slave, but his father Zuhayr rebukes him for caring for the slave Antarah.

Ibn Shaddad discovers that Antarah writes love poems for Ablah. The convoy returns to Banu Abs. Tamadur asks Zuhayr to go out with him to a wedding, but he refuses.

King Zuhayr, his guard, and the powerful men travel to attend a wedding party. Antarah is surprised by the attack of Banu Ghorab on the tribe, so he confronts them with the slaves and is able to defeat them all.

Zuhayr and the men return to the tribe and are surprised by the raid. As they decide to prepare to attack Banu Ghorab in retaliation, Ibn Shaddad suggests that Antarah accompany Prince Qays. Zuhayr marries again.

As Umar and Malik agree to kill Antarah, Malik asks his brother Qays to kill him if he is not killed in the war. Zuhayr hands Antarah his own sword to defend Banu Abs, while the King of Hejaz thinks to seek the help of neighboring tribes to protect the pilgrims.

Banu Abs, led by Qays, defeat Banu Ghorab. Hudhayfa is worried about Zuhayr's marriage into Banu Dhubyan, and his father tells him that they will prepare to fight. Urwa's friends resent his defending his tribe Banu Abs. Antarah asks ibn Shaddad to liberate him to be a free knight.

El Rabei admonishes his brother Amara for his relationship with prostitutes which impacts their trade. El Rabei gets Ablah engaged to his brother Amara, which angers Antarah, who threatens Amara and tells the tribe that he loves Ablah. Somaia tries to convince ibn Shaddad to recognize Antarah as his son.

Zuhayr decides, after his son Qays suggested not to kill Antarah for insulting Amara, that his master ibn Shaddad punishes him, orders his flogging, prevents him from riding a horse and carrying a sword. Ibn Malik decides to wed his daughter Ablah to Amara to end the matter, but El Rabei refuses.

When Zuhayr rejects ibn Malik's desire to kill Antarah, ibn Malik decides to leave the tribe. Antarah meets Urwa, who tries to persuade him to leave the tribe and move forward with him. Meanwhile, the King of Hejaz offers Hudhayfa to protect the pilgrims in exchange for a sum of money.

Zabeebah dies. Ibn Badr agrees with Laith to raid Banu Abs. As Antarah refuses to enter a war with the tribe, his father promises him to recognize him as his son and free him if he wins, and indeed Antarah saves them.

As years pass, Umar ibn Malik returns to Banu Abs and tells Shas that his father wants to return home before his death. Meanwhile, Zuhayr decides to leave his son and the army to collect tribute, whereupon Laith takes advantage of the matter and prepares to attack Banu Abs for revenge.

When Qays decides to avenge his brother, Antarah helps him; meanwhile, bandits attack Hudhayfa's convoy.

Zuhayr threatens to kill Abu Jubayr and invade his tribe as he suspects that his son, Shas, was killed, only for Abu Jubayr to stab Zuhayr, whereupon Qays decides to avenge his father and prepares the army to attack.

Umm Ablah (Ablah's mother) and ibn Malik return to their homes in Banu Abs. Qays doubts Amara, who asks his son to learn horsemanship. Qays also asks his brother to support him in running the country.

Amara's son asks Antarah to teach him horsemanship, and Antarah welcomes that. Qays agrees to protect the pilgrims. Umm Hisn asks Ablah to return to Banu Abs to spy on them and know if they intend to attack Banu Dhubyan.

Ablah agrees to return to Banu Abs to find out how dangerous it is on Banu Dhubyan, but she tells Qays about it, and meets Antarah after years of separation. As Qays is still worried about al-Nu'man and his response to his requests, he also thinks of asking Antarah to protect the pilgrims.

Hudhayfa is suspicious of Ablah and her favoring of Banu Abs, and despite having faith in Banu Abs, he resents al-Nu'man’s approval of Qays’s agreement with him to protect the pilgrims. Ibn Amer dies. Laith decides to raid Banu Abs.

As Hudhayfa blames Qays for his agreement with al-Nu'man, the argument intensifies between them, especially after they announced the bet between them, only for Qays to win it.

Malik tells his brother Qays that his alliance with al-Nu'man will lead them to war with Banu Dhubyan, so Qays considers sending Antarah ibn Shaddad to guard the caravans of pilgrims.

As Laith stages a raid on the convoy of al-Nu'man, Antarah succeeds in standing up to him and makes him lose his sight, but Shayboub is killed. Antarah decides to retire from equestrianism. Ablah's husband is killed. Ibn Hamal kills Malik treacherously.

As Qays decides to go out to fight Banu Dhubyan with Antarah ibn Shaddad, after retracting his retirement, the latter kills ibn Hamal in retaliation for Malik. As years pass by, Qays and Antarah age, while wars still exist between Banu Dhubyan and Banu Abs.

After Hudhayfa asks Qays for reconciliation and the latter refuses, war reignites between them. Antarah ibn Shaddad is killed after Laith beat him.
