Did Ibn Mandah mention in his book on the Companions an isnad for Shifa bint Abdullah's appointment to oversee the market during the time of Omar, and was this story mentioned by Al-Nasa'i in Al-Fada'il?

Ibn Mandah's book on the Companions was not among the available references. As for the mentioned narration, it is not found in Al-Sunan by Al-Nasa'i, but it has been transmitted by many scholars and biographers, which supports the possibility of it having an origin. A chain of transmission for it was mentioned in the book "Al-Ahad wal-Mathani" by Ahmad ibn Amr Al-Shaibani, and it is a weak chain due to defects within it.
