Zarqa' al-Yamama

Zarqa' al-Yamama is Yamama bint Murr, sister of Rabah ibn Murr, a woman of blue eyes from Jadis. al-Mas'udi describes her as having no one on earth with keener sight: she could see a rider from a distance of three nights ¹.

She warned her people of the army of Hassan when the trees began to move, and they called her a liar, so Hassan destroyed them. Then he ordered her eyes put out, and found within them black veins. She said that it was a black stone called antimony, with which she used to apply kohl. He ordered her crucified at the gate of Jaww, and so Yamama was named ¹.
