Al-Khansa. According to the Kitab al-Aghani, she sent a slave woman to watch him urinate, saying "If his urine cuts into the ground, he has got something left in him; but if his urine trickles over the surface, there's no zip in him." The slave woman observed only a weak stream of urine, so Al-Khansa refused his offer of marriage.[3]
