From among the nusakh (versions) of Saheeh Al-Bukhari used by al-Haafidh in Fat'hul Baaree was that of Muhammad bn Yoosuf al-Firabree which was reported by Muhammad bn Makiyy al-Kushmee'hanee and which was reported by a lady muhaddith, Ummul Kiraam, Kareemah bint Ahmad al-Mar'waziyyah.
Al-Haafidh al-Iraaqee, Abul Fadl Abdurraheem bn Al-Husayn, was the link between al-Haafidh Ibn Hajar and Lady Kareemah.
She was really a kareemah - an honourable woman.
She went in search of knowledge of hadeeth with her father from her tender age.
She died 463AH at around a hundred years.
She was never married!
Rahimahallah.
