The Banu Abdul Qays is an ancient Arabian tribe from the Rabi`ah branch of the "North Arabian" tribes.
In pre-Islamic times, the Abd al-Qays frequently raid Iran.
When Shapur II becomes of age, he makes it his first order of business to punish the Abd al-Qays.
He leads an army across the Persian Gulf and devastates large parts of Eastern Arabia and Syria, slaughtering most of the Abd al-Qays on the way.
Later in his reign, Shapur moves many Abd al-Qays people to Kerman Province in Iran.
