==Personal life==

Brill's first encyclopedia of Islam, 1913–1936 By M. Th. Houtsma, p665</ref> 4,000 people gathered around her to march on [[Medina]]. Others joined her against Medina. However, her planned attack on Medina was called off after she learned that the army of [[Khalid ibn al-Walid]] had defeated [[Tulayha|Tulayha al-Asadi]] (another self-proclaimed prophet).<ref name=":3">The Life of the Prophet Muhammad: Al-Sira Al-Nabawiyya By Ibn Kathir, Trevor Le Gassick, Muneer Fareed, pg. 36.</ref> Thereafter, she sought cooperation with Musaylima to oppose the threat of Khalid.<ref name=":3" /> A mutual understanding was initially reached with Musaylima. Eventually, the two married and she accepted his prophethood (although she later recanted and died a Muslim).<ref name=":3" /> Khalid then defeated the remaining rebellious elements around Sajah, and then moved on to defeat Musaylima.<ref name=":3" />
