Overview
Afra bint Uqal, the beloved of Urwa ibn Hizam al-Udhri. Al-Mas'udi relates that when Urwa's death was reported to her, she went to his grave and threw herself over it until her soul left her, and they buried her beside him. 2
Al-Mas'udi also relates verses she said on hearing of his death. It is a single akhbari report and needs an additional source. 2
