Overview

The daughter of Samura ibn Jundab (may God be pleased with him), one of the wives of al-Mukhtar ibn Abi Ubayd. Musab ibn al-Zubayr offered her to the sword so that she would disown him. 2

Al-Mas'udi relates that she withdrew from his position and cursed him. What happened to her afterwards is not in the entity's data and needs an additional source. 2
