Fāṭima bint Abī ʿAlī al-Ṣadafī
Fāṭima bint Abī ʿAlī al-Ṣadafī (1114/5–1193) was a learned woman of al-Andalus.
Fāṭima, who in some sources is called Khadīja, was born in Murcia in 1114 or 1115.[1] She was the daughter of the scholar Abū ʿAlī al-Ṣadafī and his wife, a daughter of Mūsā ibn Saʿāda.[2] She was a child when her father died in the battle of Cutanda in 1120. She became known for her piety, asceticism, calligraphy, bibliophily and ability to recite the Qurʾān and ḥadīth.[1]
Fāṭima married a disciple of her father's, Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd Allāh ibn Mūsā ibn Burṭuluh, who had returned to al-Andalus from performing the Ḥajj. One of their children, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, became the qāḍī (judge) of Dénia. Fāṭima died at over eighty years of age (per the Islamic calendar).[1]
