68 – Karīmah bint ʿAbd al-Wahhāb, Umm al-Faḍl, the Qurashī al-Asadī **
She was the daughter of the trustworthy traditionist Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd al-Wahhāb ibn ʿAlī ibn al-Khaḍir ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAlī. A learned and devout shaykha of great longevity, she was the senior hadith authority of Syria. Her kunya was Umm al-Faḍl, and she belonged to the Qurashī, al-Asadī, and al-Zubayrī lines. A native of Damascus, she was popularly known as “Bint al-Ḥabaqbaq.”
— al-Takmila li-Wafayati ʾl-Naqala, vol. 3, entry 3135, states that he transmitted hadith and that the author possessed his written ijaza, which reached him from Alexandria on several occasions; see also Sila ʾl-Takmila by al-Sharaf al-Husaini, fol. 8; al-ʿIbar, 5/169; Tadhkirat al-Huffaz, vol. 4, p. 1435; Tarikh al-Islam, fol. 6 (Aya Sofya 3013); al-Nujum al-Zahira, 6/349; and Shadharat al-Dhahab, 5/212.
