Umm Kurzan

أم كرزان

A Bajila woman; in al-Baladhuri she told Jarir when her people returned the Sawad quarter 'my father died and his share is fixed in the Sawad — I will not submit', and when told her people had agreed, answered 'I will not submit unless you mount me on a docile she-camel with a red saddle-cloth and fill my hands with gold' — which was done.
