Abū Karib As’ad al-Kāmil, (Arabic: أسعد الكامل), called "Abū Karīb", sometimes rendered as As'ad Abū Karīb, full name: Abu Karib As'ad ibn Hassān Maliki Karib Yuha'min, was king (Tubba', Arabic: تُبَّع) of the Himyarite Kingdom (modern day Yemen). He ruled Yemen from 390 CE until 420 CE, beginning as a coregency with his father Malkikarib Yuhamin (r. 375–400) followed by becoming sole ruler in 400.[1] As'ad is cited in some sources as the first of several kings of the Arabian Peninsula to convert to Judaism,[2][3][4][5][6][7] although contemporary historians have ascribed this transition to his father.[8][9] He was traditionally regarded as the first one to cover the Kaaba with the kiswah.[10]
