It is narrated from Sa'id bin Kathir bin Ufayr, who said: Sayyidah Safiyyah bint Abdul Muttalib, the mother of Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam, passed away in the year 20 AH; on the day she died she was seventy-three (73) years old. Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) led her funeral prayer, and she was buried in al-Baqi'.
