and ʿUmar ibn Dharr, Isḥāq ibn Suwayd, Ayyūb al-Sakhtiyānī, and others. Her ḥadīth are cited as proof in the Ṣaḥīḥ collections, and Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn declared her reliable.
It has reached us that she would revive the night in worship and would say, “I marvel at an eye that can sleep, knowing how long the slumber will be in the darkness of the graves.”
When her husband Ṣilah and their son were martyred in one of the battles, the women assembled around her. She said, “Welcome—if you have come to share in good tidings; but if you have come for anything else, then return.”
She also used to say, “By Allah, I love life only so that I may draw nearer to my Lord by every means, hoping that He will reunite me with Abū al-Shaʿthāʾ and his son in Paradise.”
Abū al-Faraj Ibn al-Jawzī dated her death to 83 AH.

A venerable leader, yet he narrated only a single ḥadīth from Ibn ʿAbbās. He died a martyr, before Ibn ʿAbbās, as mentioned earlier.
202 – Rabīʿah ibn Laqīṭ **, the Tujībī of Egypt
He transmitted ḥadīth from Muʿāwiyah, ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ, and Ibn Ḥawālah.
