ʿĀʾisha bint Saʾd ibn Abi Waqqas al-Zuhriyya al-Madaniyya (c. 651-735) was a muhaddith.

ʿĀʾisha was born around 651 CE.[1] She was the daughter of Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, an Islamic military commander and companion of Muhammad, and one of his wives named Zayn, a woman of the Banu Bakr bin Wa'il tribe taken as a prisoner of war.[2]

Scholars differ on whether she should be classified as a companion or successor of the companions of Muhammad and on the reliability of her ḥadīth. She related ḥadīth from her father and from several of the wives of Muhammad.[1]

A'isha ibn Sa`d ibn Abi Waqqas died on 735 at the age of 84.[1]
