Umm Qirfa Fatima was an Arab leader of the pagan tribe of Banu Fazara in Wadi Al-Qura. She was the wife of Malik ibn Hudhayfa ibn Badr al-Fazari. after her thirty horsemen were defeated by Zayd ibn Haritha , Muhammad cruelly ordered Qirfa to be slaughtered "by putting a rope into her two legs and to two camels and driving them until they rent her in two....".two of her limbs were torn in to two by four camels,her severed head was later paraded all over the streets of Medina..Her brothers were executed and her daughter described as "prettiest girls in Arabia"  was passed on to Muhhamed's maternal uncle Hazn b Abu Wahb for "private use",this union bore them, Abdu'l-Rahmān b. Hazn.

Ibn Ishaq, the "first biographer" of Muhammad writes that:

Allah’s Messenger sent Zayd to Wadi Qura, where he encountered the Banu Fazarah. Some of his Companions were killed, and Zayd was carried away wounded. Ward was slain by the Banu Badr. When Zayd returned, he vowed that no washing should touch his head until he had raided the Fazarah. After he recovered, Muhammad sent him with an army against the Fazarah settlement. He met them in Qura and inflicted casualties on them and took Umm Qirfah prisoner. He also took one of Umm’s daughters and Abdallah bin Mas’adah prisoner. Ziyad bin Harithah ordered Qays to kill Umm Qirfah, and he killed her cruelly. He tied each of her legs with a rope and tied the ropes to two camels, and they split her in two.
