A'ishah bint Abi Bakr As-Sidddiq
She is the mother of the believers and the most knowledgeable woman of this ummah without exception.
'Urwah bin Az-Zubayr, A'ishah's nephew, said to A'ishah,:
"Oh my aunt, I am not surprised by your knowledge of Islamic jurisprudence, because you are the wife of the Messenger of Allah and the daughter of Abu Bakr. I am not surprised by your knowledge of poetry, becasue you are the daughter of Abu Bakr and he was from the most knowlegdeable people in this field. But I am surprised that you know medicine" [Urwah said]: "she tapped me on the shoulder and said, 'The messenger of Allah ﷺ became sick during the end of his life and the delegation of Arabs would visit from every direction, and I would hear the doctors treating the sick and I memorised it'"
(Siyar A'lam an Nubala' by Imam adh-Dhahabi (182) )
(Extract taken from the book: The Illustrious women of Islam from the first generation.)
A great example for woman and girls today of someone who sought knowledge, was generous a great teacher and mother of the believers.
