Nahr al-Mar'a

The River of the Woman is one of the districts of the Tigris. Shurayh ibn Amir conquered its castle by treaty, and the treaty was made on its behalf by al-Nushjan ibn Jasansama. The mistress of the castle was a woman named Kamin Dar, daughter of Narsa, cousin of al-Nushjan.

It was named so because Abu Musa al-Ash'ari stopped there, and she provided him with a sweet dish (khabisa), so he began to say, "Feed us from the woman's flour." ¹
