description: "Abū Karib As’ad al-Kāmil, called \"Abū Karīb\", sometimes rendered as As'ad Abū Karīb, full name: Abu Karib As'ad ibn Hassān Maliki Karib Yuha'min, was king of the Himyarite Kingdom. He ruled Yemen from 390 CE until 420 CE, beginning as a coregency with his father Malkikarib Yuhamin followed by becoming sole ruler in 400. As'ad is traditionally portrayed as the first of several kings of the Arabian Peninsula to convert to Judaism, although contemporary historians and pre-Islamic sources, such as Philostorgius have ascribed this transition to his father. He was traditionally regarded as the first one to cover the Kaaba with the kiswah."
