Ḥakīma bint Muḥammad al-Jawād (Arabic: حكيمة بنت محمد الجواد), also known as Ḥakīma Khātūn (lit. 'lady Hakima'), was the daughter of Muhammad al-Jawad (d. 835), sister of Ali al-Hadi (d. 868),^[1] and paternal aunt of Hasan al-Askari (d. 874), who were the ninth, tenth, and eleventh Imams in Twelver Shia Islam, respectively. Her mother was Samana, a freed slave (umm walad) of Moroccan origin.^[2] A revered figure in Twelver Shia, she is buried in the al-Askari shrine in Samarra, located in modern-day Iraq, which has been targeted by Sunni militants as recently as 2007.
