The material for this account of her life and teachings is derived from one or two short biographical notices and from scattered references to be found in Arab and Persian writers on Sufism and is the first biography of this early Muslim saint to appear, which aims at being complete, so far as the sources at present available make this possible.
Smith counted among her mentors Thomas Walker Arnold, Alfred Guillaume, R A Nicholson, and Louis Massignon.
