Amrah bint Abd al-Rahman

'Amra bint 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Sa'd ibn Zurara ibn 'Udas, al-Ansariyya al-Najjariyya of Medina — the jurist raised and taught by 'A'isha; her father is said to have had suhba, and her grandfather Sa'd was among the earliest Companions, brother of the great naqib As'ad ibn Zurara. ¹

She narrated from 'A'isha, Umm Salama, Rafi' ibn Khadij and her sister Umm Hisham bint Haritha; her son Abu'l-Rijal Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, the qadi Abu Bakr ibn Hazm, al-Zuhri, Yahya ibn Sa'id al-Ansari and others narrated from her. Learned, jurist, authoritative and rich in knowledge: al-Qasim ibn Muhammad would point the eager student to her — "she was in 'A'isha's care" — and the seeker found her an inexhaustible sea. Her death is given as 98 or 106 AH, and her hadith is copious in the canonical collections. ¹
