'Amrah was the daughter of Nufayl, one of the companions of Amir al­Mu'minin ('a). Shaykh al-Tusi has counted her among the companions of Imam 'Ali ('a).1

'Allamah Mamqani said, "Shaykh al-Tusi has considered her to be one of the companions of Imam al-Sadiq ('a) in his book about distinguished people. And, her being of the Imamiyyah faith is clear. However, her situation is not apparent to me."2

Mamqani's quoting Shaykh al-Tusi as saying she is one of the companions of Imam al-Sadiq ('a) is obviously wrong, because Shaykh al-Tusi and others have listed 'Amrah among the companions of Imam 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib ('a).

'Allamah Ardabili, Mirza Astarabadi, and Mulla Qahpa'i have listed 'Amrah among the transmitters of traditions.3
