Umm al-Hasan al-Nakha'iyyah was a transmitter of a traditions from Amir al­Mu'minin ('a). 'Allamah Ardabili introduces her as a transmitter of traditions from Amir al­Mu'minin. Shaykh al-Kulayni and Shaykh al-Tusi have related her tradition.1

'Allamah Mamqani writes, "We only know her name from the tradition al­Kulayni and Shaykh al-Tusi have quoted, and they have not mentioned 'al-Nakha'iyyah' in bringing her name. Her degree of reliability is not established for me."2

She has related traditions from Amir al-Mu'minin ('a), and Abu Zahrah has related traditions from her.

Shaykh al-Kulayni and Shaykh al-Tusi narrate the following tradition, quoting Ahmad Ibn Muhammad, who relates from 'Uthman Ibn 'isa from Abu Zahrah that Umm al-Hasan said, "Amir al-Mu'minin passed by me and asked, 'What do you make, Umm al-Hasan? (Meaning what talents do you have?)' I answered, 'I spin yarn.' Amir al-Mu'minin said, 'This is of the best (literally: most permitted) ways of making a living."'
