Sayyid al-Amin introduces Khadijah Bint Imam al-Jawad ('a) as a woman who is a Gnostic, honorable, believer in the Twelve Imams, and knowledgeable in the traditions.1 Her name has been mentioned in a tradition by Shaykh al-Tusi in his book al-Ghaybah.2 However, in the books Kitab al-Irshad and al-Ansab, and the books on the transmitters of traditions, someone by the name of Khadijah Bint Muhammad Ibn 'Ali al-Ridha ('a) or the daughter of Imam al­Jawad ('a) has not been listed.

The tradition reported by Sayyid al-Amin from the book al-Ghaybah is similar to the tradition which has been listed in some of the copies of this book for Hakimah Bint al-Jawad ('a). Therefore, it would appear that this Khadijah is actually Hakimah Bint Muhammad Ibn 'Ali ('a), who has been previously mentioned in this book.
