the Muʿjam al-Kabīr. In 525 AH she was present in Baghdad with Hibat Allah ibn al-Ḥuṣayn, Zāhir ibn Ṭāhir, and Abū Ghālib ibn al-Bannāʾ.
Later she heard hadith from her own father, from Hibat Allah ibn al-Ṭabar, from Qāḍī Abū Bakr, from Yaḥyā ibn Ḥubaysh al-Fāriqī, from Yaḥyā ibn al-Bannāʾ, from Abū Manṣūr al-Qazzāz, from Ismāʿīl al-Samarkandī (1), and from many others. A considerable number of scholars granted her formal authorisations (ijāza).
She taught in Damascus and in Egypt. The dignitary Zayn al-Dīn ibn Nujayya, the preacher, married her; she lived with him first in Damascus and then in Egypt, where she enjoyed honour and influence.
Among those who narrated from her were Abū Mūsā ibn al-Ḥāfiẓ, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Muqarrib, Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Wazzān al-Ḥanafī, Muḥammad ibn al-Shaykh al-Shāṭibī, al-Ḥāfiẓ al-Ḍiyāʾ, the Khaṭīb of Mardā, ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿAllān, and many others besides them.
Al-Ḥāfiẓ Zakī al-Dīn ʿAbd al-ʿAẓīm likewise received her ijāza and reported that she died on the eighth of Rabīʿ al-Awwal, 600 AH.
I add: she lived seventy-eight years, and she granted an ijāza to our shaykh Aḥmad ibn Abī al-Khair Salāmah (2).
