Following the message, Jamil assembled an army of 5,000 men, most of whom were volunteers, and led them toward the border. Along the way, the soldiers stopped to rest near a deep well. They cried out, "O Jamil, will you give us a little water here? For we are surely dying of thirst."
Jamil called upon their leader, saying, "Come, Rajab! Go down and bring us of these riches, that our thirst may be quenched."
Rajab took off his cloak and descended with slow, cautious steps. There, he found 50 liters of water. Suddenly, from above, he heard the sound of horses and camels and the voices of people speaking an incomprehensible tongue. He climbed back up to inform Jamil of what he had heard, only to find that the two armies had already met.
Everyone stood ready, and the battle commenced. One-fifth of the army perished, many grew weary, and terror gripped the majority. Jamil shouted:
"I am Jamil, the son of [So-and-so]! I am your protector! Why have you become afraid? Bear witness that this victory is mine!"
He reorganized the ranks, mounted his horse, Ja'la'al, and cried, "Woe to you if you flee!"
At that moment, the ruler of the state of Takmah, a man named Jahbalbaj, stepped forward and said:
"Why do I see mice trembling in fear of a lion? Are we the ignorant ones, or is it you who call your leader a coward? Know that if you die today, there is no savior for you."
Jamil replied:
"You—you fly! No one asked you for your attributes. Listen to the words of your slayer, and know that you are surely among the losers."
The battle erupted once more. Moments later, Jahbalbaj was slain. A cry rose from both armies: "Jahbalbaj is killed! Jahbalbaj is killed!" Jamil took the fallen ruler's head and entered the state of Takmah, declaring:
"Did I not tell you that victory is our ally? Here you are, the defeated."
بعد الرسالة جمع جميل جيشا قدر ب5000 شخص اكثرهم متطوعين ثم قادهم الى الحدود , في
الطريق توقف الجنود للراحة قرب بئر عميق فقالوا "يا جميل افتعطي لنا قليلا من الماء هنا فنحن ميتون لمحالة من العطش" فنادى على كبيرهم فقال " تعال يا رجب انزل و اجلب لنا من الخيرات لعل عطشنا يذهب"
فنزع رجب عبائته و نزل يخطو خطوات بطيئة و اذا وجد 50 لترا من الماء , و في الاعلى سمع صوت الاحصنة و الجمال و سمع اناسا يتكلمون لغة غير مفهومة , فصعد ليخبر جميل بما سمع فوجد الجيشين قد التقيا
استعد الجميع و بدات المعركة مات خمس الجيش الى ان ارتخى كثيرهم و رعب معظمهم فقال جميل " انا جميل ابن فلان انا ناصركم ما لكم خفتهم اشهدوا ان هذا نصري " فاعاد الصفوف ثم ركب حصانه جعلعل و قال " ويلكم من الهرب " فخرج حاكمهم ( حاكم دولة طكمح ) و الذي يدعى جحبلبج و قال " ما لي ارى فئرانا ترتعش خائفة من اسد ام نحن الجهل ام انتم تدعون كبيركم بالجبن و اعلموا انكم لو متم فلا ناصر لكم اليوم" قال جميل " انت يا ايها ذباب لم يسالك احد عن صفاتك استمع الى كلام قاتلك و اعرف انك لفي خسر "
و عادت المعركة من جديد و بعد لحظاتقتل جحبلبج, و صرخ الجيشين " قتل جحبلبج . قتل جحبلبج " ثم اخد جميل راسه و دخل به دولة طكمح قائلا " الم اقل لكم النصر حليفنا هانتم خاسرون "
