Sitt al-Wuzara' al-Tanukhiyyah (died 716/1338 C.E.) was a Syrian hadith scholar. She was the last student of Husayn ibn al-Mubarak al-Zabidi and Abu al-Munajja Ibn al-Latti. Alongside with her prominent predecessors -Umm al-Darda and Fatima bint 'Abd al- Malik ibn Marwan, wife of the pious caliph 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz, she represents what Mohammad Akram Nadwi terms as hadith scholarship from al-Sham (Greater Syria).[1]
