Abstract
Shuhda bint Abi Nasr Ahmad ibn al-Farj, commonly known as Shuhda al-Katiba, was a leading transmitter of hadith—or narrations of the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad—in twelfth-century Baghdad. Many prominent Islamic scholars studied under her, and a collection of her transmissions circulated as a book. Her nickname “al-katiba” or “the writer” appears to arise not from her activities as a transmitter but rather from her work as an accomplished calligrapher.
