This is not a minor person. She is listed as an important teacher and writers of hadeeth. The history of nearly 9000 Muslim women scholars were uncovered from biographical dictionaries, travel books, private letters and the accounts of mosques and madrasahs. They were compiled by Shaikh Muhammad Akram Nadwi of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies. Shaikh Muhammad Akram Nadwi "Most recently he has completed a 53-volume biographical dictionary of the muhaddithat, the female scholars of hadith."

She is a very important element in the realm of female scholars of hadeeth. A pioneer and definitely not a minor associate of an associate. As a wife of a companion of Muhammad she was also his companion and one whom heard the oral revelations and recited them as well as addressed them in hadeeth.

More information is still being compiled. She like Aisha, and Zanab are important female leaders of early Islamic teachings. They helped to shape Islam in the early years.

I'm not seeing the notability of Aisha at all. Legacypac (talk) 05:49, 18 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Aisha is the wife of the Prophet. She is known as the mother of the believers. She is one of the most well known Islamic figures. He married her to ally himself with her clan. She led an army against Abu Bkr (the first caliph) after the death of Muhammad. This is the split between the Sunni and Shia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Larelbain (talkcontribs) 06:02, 18 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

I mean, the subject is no where near as notable as Aisha. It's not fair to say she is like Aisha. Legacypac (talk) 18:10, 19 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

It is very fair to say she is as influential a woman within Islam and directing the movement as Aisha. She is well known within Islam. She is more notable and prominent an influence than Khadijah. I am working on another update and more demographic information about her as well as expanding the details of her work and influenceLarelbain (talk) 03:08, 25 June 2017 (UTC)LarelbainReply
