دختنوس بنت النعمان

Dukhtanus, daughter of al-Nu'man ibn al-Mundhir, ruler of al-Hira, and wife of Laqit ibn Zurara of Tamim. ²

When Laqit was killed on the day of Shi'b Jabala and the Banu Abs struck him after he was dead, she said that they had struck a face that carried awe, and that if they had met Laqit alive they would not have stood against the spear-points. ²

Al-Baladhuri reports that Laqit, at his death, recited a verse about her in which he wished to know what she would say when news of him reached her. ²
