Some say that she sucked a ring that contained poison, and said: \"By my hand, not by the hand of 'Amr.\" The city was ruined and the children taken captive. {cite:muruj-al-dhahab p. 409-412}\n\nHe reports that she did to Marid, the fortress of Dumat al-Jandal, and to al-Ablaq, the fortress of Tayma, what she did, until they were beyond her reach. {cite:muruj-al-dhahab p. 409-412}\n\nThis is an account from the pre-Islamic reports, and it rests on the source alone."
