Shahnameh:

[T]he wailing throughout the land because of the death of Rostam was such as the world hath not known the like. And Zal was crushed with sorrow, and Rodabeh was distraught with grief. And for many moons were no sounds save those of wailing heard in the courts of Seistan. And Rodabeh refused to take comfort, and she cried without ceasing- 

"He is gone before us, but we shall follow. Let us rest our hopes in God." 

And she gave unto the poor of her treasures, and daily she prayed unto Ormuzd, saying- 

"O Thou who reignest above, to whom alone pertaineth honour and glory, purify the soul of Rostam from all sin, and grant that he rejoice in the fruits that he hath sown on earth, and give him a place beside Thee." 

And now may the blessing of God rest upon all men. I have told unto them the Epic of Kings, and the Epic of Kings is come to a close, and the tale of their deeds is ended.
