 {{Quote|{{Tabari|39|p. 174}}.|Hafsah died in Shabaan AH 45 during the caliphate of Muawiya. She was then 60 years old.}}
-This was the year between October and November 665, which is a contradiction. If Hafsah died at the age of 60 Islamic years, she would have been born in 607 (median = 4 July 607), two years later than Ibn Saad claims. However, the date “when the Quraysh were rebuilding the House” is precise, and so is the mention of Shabaan as the month of death. If both these details are correct, it is possible that “she was then 60” was only meant as an approximation.

 So we will assume that Hafsah was born in 605; but we should bear in mind she might have been two years younger than this.
