Because she was very, very clever. Here are some of her talents.

* She memorised the Qur'an.

* She recounted thousands of hadiths about Mohammed's life.

* She was an expert on sharia law, and frequently settled disputes between Muslims.

* By the standards of the day, she was a competent doctor, knowing hundreds of recipes for various medicines and how to apply them. (We might not trust her knowledge nowadays!)

* She memorised reams of Arabic poetry, and could recite a relevant verse off the cuff whenever it was needed.

* She had also memorised a lot of Arabic history and the genealogy of everyone around her.

* She was a lively teacher whose classes both men and women really wanted to attend.

* She was not afraid of anyone, and she frequently told Mohammed just what she thought of him.
