'Ulyah was the daughter of Imam 'Ali Ibn al-Husayn ('a), and was raised in the household of purity and immaculateness. She passed away in the year 95 A.H.L.1

Al-Najjashi has said about her, "'Ulyah had a book which Abu Ja'far Muhammad Ibn 'Abdullah Ibn Muhammad Ibn 'Aqil has quoted from saying, 'Raja' Ibn Jamil Ibn Salih related to us that Abu Jamil Ibn Salih had told him traditions from Zurarah Ibn A'yan from 'Ulyah Bint 'Ali Ibn al-Husayn.'"

'Allamah Mamqani counts her among the women transmitters of traditions and has said about her, "It is clear she was of the Imamiyyah faith, but there is no description found about her. However, her good qualities are clear."2

Muhaqqiq Ardabili and Mirza Astarabadi have introduced 'Ulyah as one of the transmitters of traditions.3 She has related traditions from her father, Imam Zayn al-'Abidin ('a), while Zurarah Ibn A'yan has related traditions from her.
