177. Fatimah Bint Harun

Fatimah was the daughter of Harun Ibn Musa Ibn Furat and one of the transmitters of traditions. But, there is no other information available about her. She used to say, "I heard my grandfather, Musa Ibn Furat, say, 'Muhammad Ibn Abi 'Umayr related traditions to me from the book of 'Ubaydullah Ibn 'Ali al­Halabi."

Shaykh al-Tusi listed her among the people who related traditions from people other than the Imams.1 The other books about the transmitters of traditions confirm the words of Shaykh al-Tusi.2 'Umar Ridha Kahhalah has mentioned her among the transmitters of traditions.3

She has related traditions from her grandfather, Musa Ibn Furat. Harun Ibn Musa al-Tal'akabari, 'Abd al-Rahman al-Sha'ri, and Abu 'Abdullah Ahmad Ibn Dawud al-Baghdadi have related traditions from her.
