Khadijah was the daughter of Muhammad Ibn 'Ali Ibn al-Husayn al-Baqir ('a). Even though Shaykh al-Mufid in his book Kitab al-Irshad, and Ibn 'Anbah in 'Umdat al-'Talib haven't mentioned her, she has been mentioned in books about the traditionists. Shaykh al-Kulayni has related a tradition from al-Fadl al­Khazzaz al-Mada'ini the manumitted servant of Khadijah Bint Muhammad Abu­Ja'far ('a).1 This referral to al-Madai'ni in the tradition shows that she was living at that time.

Shaykh al-Tusi has listed her among the companions and narrators of traditions from Imam al-Baqir ('a).2 'Allamah Mamqani has listed her among the women transmitters of traditions and written, "Without doubt, she was of the Imamiyyah faith and she was righteous and acceptable."3

Allamah Ardabili, Mirza Astarabadi, and Ibn Dawud al-Hilli have mentioned Khadijah Bint Imam al-Baqir ('a) among the transmitters of traditions.4
