A woman who achieved a high level of knowledge was the daughter of Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab, the scholar of his age, who refused to marry his daughter to the Khalifah, Abdul-Malik ibn Marwan, and instead married her to one of his righteous students, 'Abdullah ibn Wada'ah.
Abdullah went in to his wife, who was one of the most beautiful of people, and one of the most knowledgeable in Qur'an, Sunnah and the rights and duties of marriage. In the morning, 'Abdullah got up and was preparing to go out. His wife asked him, "Where are you going?" He said, "To the study circle of your father Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab, so that I may learn." She said, "Sit down; I will teach you what Sa'id knows." For one month, Abdullah did not attend Sa'id's study circle because the knowledge that this beautiful young girl had learned from her father (and was passing on to him) was sufficient.
