English

Volume 4, Book 55, Number 643:
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari:
The Prophet said, "The superiority of 'Aisha to other ladies is like the superiority of Tharid (i.e.
meat and bread dish) to other meals. Many men reached the level of perfection, but no woman
reached such a level except Mary, the daughter of Imran and Asia, the wife of Pharaoh."
Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Amongst all those women who ride camels
(i.e. Arabs), the ladies of Quraish are the best. They are merciful and kind to their off-spring and the
best guardians of their husbands' properties.' Abu Huraira added, "Mary the daughter of Imran never
rode a camel."
