It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Waraqah al-Ansariyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: "Come with us to visit the martyr (Umm Waraqah)," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that the adhan and iqamah be called for her, and that she lead the people of her household in the obligatory prayers. Imam al-Hakim says: Imam Muslim used al-Walid bin Jumay' as evidence, and this is a rare Sunnah; I know of no other connected (musnad) hadith on this topic besides it. It is also narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she used to give the adhan and iqamah and lead women in prayer.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she used to give the adhan and iqamah, lead women in prayer, and (when leading women) stand in the middle of the row.
