Aminah, the daughter of Ahmad Ibn Dhuhal Ibn Sulayman al-A'mash, was one of the transmitters of traditions. No report was found on her. Her name was obtained in the reporting of traditions. The text of the traditions and the people from who Aminah relates traditions testify to her being among the Shi'ahh.

Aminah Bint Ahmad Ibn Dhuhal Ibn Sulayman al-A'mash has quoted her father as relating from Sulayman Ibn Mihran1 that he said Muhammad Ibn Kathir told me a tradition that Abu Khaythma2 heard 'Abdullah Ibn 'Umar say the Prophet (S) said, "You are given advice by me, and guided by 'Ali." The Messenger of God (S) recited a verse (from the Qur'an) and continued, "Benevolence comes to you through the existence of al-Hasan, and through al-Husayn you will become prosperous or wretched. Know that al-Husayn is one of the doors of Heaven. God will forbid from heaven whoever is his enemy.3

• 1. Sulayman Ibn Mihran, or Sulayman al-A'mash, is Abu Muhammad al-Asadi Shaykh al-Tusi has said he was one of the companions of Imam al-Sadiq (‘a). Ibn Shahr'ashub has said that he was one of the special companions of Imam al-Sadiq (‘a). (Manaqib, section 4, the chapter on Imamate of Abu 'Abdullah Ja'far Ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq) Ibn Dawud has listed him among the authoritative personages. (Mu'jam Rijal al­ Hadith, vol. 8, p. 280).
• 2. Zuhayr Ibn Mu’awiyah al-Hadij, or Abu Khaythma al-Ja'fari, has been introduced by Shaykh al-Tusi as one of the companions of Imam al-Sadiq ('a). However, Ayatullah al-Khu'i saw no proof for his reliability according to the words of Abu Na'im. (Mu'jam Rijal al-Hadith, vol. 7, p. 296) But, the tradition related from him shows that he is not opposed to the Household of the Prophet ('a). Ibn Hajar has related praise of him by the transmitters of traditions. For example, he has said, "Mu'adh said, 'I swear to God, Sufyan was not more reliable than Zuhayr. "' Or, Ahmad has said that Zuhayr is more reliable than Mu'adh. He is truthful... (Tahdhib al-Tahdhib, vol. 2, p. 209).
