He was the maternal cousin of Muʿāwiyah ibn Abī Sufyān, and his grandfather was ʿUtbah ibn Rabīʿah. Muʿāwiyah placed him in charge of the kharāj (land tax) of Khurasan, and he died there in 56 AH. This date was recorded by al-Madāʾinī.

147 – ʿĀʾishah bint Ṭalḥah ibn ʿUbayd Allah at-Taymiyyah* (ʿ)
She was the daughter of Umm Kulthūm, the sister of the Mother of the Believers ʿĀʾishah—both daughters of as-Ṣiddīq. Her first husband was her cousin ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Bakr as-Ṣiddīq. After him she married Musʿab, the governor of Iraq, who set her dowry at one hundred thousand dinars. It was said that she was the most beautiful and most distinguished woman of her time, and her hadith are included in the Ṣaḥīḥ collections.

When Musʿab ibn az-Zubayr was killed, she married ʿUmar ibn ʿUbayd Allah at-Taymī, who fixed her bridal gift at one million dirhams. Concerning this, the poet said (1):
A maiden’s portion is a full, round million,
While the chiefs of the armies lie hungry at night. (2)

She narrated reports from her aunt ʿĀʾishah, and among those who transmitted from her were Ḥabīb ibn Abī ʿAmrah; her nephews Ṭalḥah ibn Yaḥyā and Muʿāwiyah ibn Isḥāq; her grand-nephew Mūsā—ʿUbayd Allah ibn Isḥāq—Fuḍayl al-Fuqaymī, and others.

She visited the caliph Hishām ibn ʿAbd al-Malik, who honored her and presented her with a large sum. Yahyā ibn Maʿīn declared her reliable.
