It critically examines sections where A isha refutes and corrects key Companions such as Umar b. al-Khattab, Abdullah b. Abbas, Zayd b. Thabit, and Abu Hurayra, using classical hadith methodology to assert her as a central authority in Islamic knowledge. This study challenges prevailing views by reevaluating how a isha responded to circulating hadiths, shedding light on her marginalized traditions within the canonical corpus, notably al-Bukhari s sahih It proposes a method to rejuvenate her voice and expands Islamic disciplines by reconceptualizing hadith canonization and developing an emergent methodology for scrutinizing the content of traditions. Additionally, it contributes to Muslim legal tradition by offering insights into A isha s approach to juridical matters, with significant implications for women's spiritual and daily practices.
