There is a narration about the modesty of a pious woman who had such haya, that she never left her house except on three occasions (Her birth, when she got married and her janazah)
I am unsure about her name, if it was Fatimah Al Baghdadiyyah or another person
What is the source of this report and the identity of the righteous woman?
Answer:
This was indeed Fatimah bintu Nasr ibn Al ‘Attar Al Baghdadiyyah. She was known to be extremely pious. ‘Allamah Dhahabi (rahimahullah) writes, ‘Her brother said: ‘She only left the house thrice in her entire lifetime’
(Tarikhul Islam, vol. 23 pg. 526, Al Bidayah Wan Nihayah, vol. 14 pg. 284/285)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
