In mentioning the names of the children of [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]], [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]] only mentions that he (a) had two daughters by the names of [[Fatima bt. al-Husayn (a)|Fatima]] and [[Sukayna]] . However, Muhammad b. Talha al-Shafi'i mentions that Imam al-Husayn (a) had four daughters and that Zaynab, Sukayna and Fatima were the names of three of the daughters. He believed that this opinion was the generally accepted opinion and that the opinion of the two daughters was not the generally accepted opinion. As can be noticed, he did not bring a name for the fourth daughter, so it should be sought in other books.

Ibn Fandaq in ''Lubab al-ansab'' writes, "No children of Husayn (a) were left alive except [[Imam Zayn al-'Abidin (a)]], Fatima, Sukayna and Ruqayya. In another place, while counting the children of Imam al-Husayn (a) he mentions the names of the daughters of Imam al-Husayn (a) as Fatima, Sukayna, Zaynab, [[Umm Kulthum]] and adds that Zaynab and Umm Kulthum passed away in their childhoods.

Najm al-Din al-Tabasi, by comparing the report of Ibn Fandaq with the one found in ''[[Matalib al-Sa'ul]]'', comes to the conclusion that the name of Imam al-Husayn's (a) fourth daughter was Ruqayya and that her [[Kunya]] was Umm Kulthum.

Another report that mentions the name of Ruqayya is that in some manuscripts of the book ''[[al-Luhuf]]'', when Imam al-Husayn (a) bids farewell to his family members, he says the following, "O my sisters! O [[Umm Kulthum]]! O [[Zaynab]]! O Ruqayya! O Fatima! and O [[Rubab]]! Listen to me! When I am killed, do not hurt yourselves, do not scratch your faces and do not shout out profanities!"
