Women's role in narrating the Holy Prophet's Hadiths (SAWA)

It is usually believed that women transmitters have not narrated many hadiths and if they had, they were only about juridical laws concerning women. A thorough research on the Holy Prophet’s (SA WA) .hadiths shows that this is not right. The Prophet’s (SAWA) wives and women companions had an effective role in transmitting traditions on women's laws and educational, moral, political, legal, ritual and defensive subjects. This article, on the role of women in transmitting the Prophet's (SAW A) Hadiths, is an extract from an extensive research about women transmitters and their narrations. Fourteen persons, after the number of the fourteen infallibles (AS) whose name were between Alif to Dill in Arabic alphabet, have been chosen. These had the most number of hadiths on different subjects.
