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.”

The Prophet said, “If anyone testifies that None has the right to be worshipped but Allah Alone
Who has no partners, and that Muhammad is His Slave and His Apostle, and that Jesus is Allah’s
Slave and His Apostle and His Word which He bestowed on Mary and a Spirit created by Him, and
that Paradise is true, and Hell is true, Allah will admit him into Paradise with the deeds which he had
done even if those deeds were few.” (Junada, the sub-narrator said, ” ‘Ubada added, ‘Such a person
can enter Paradise through any of its eight gates he likes.”)
Volume 4, Book 55, Number 629:
Narrated Abdullah bin Amr:
Allah’s Apostle was informed that I have said: “By Allah, I will fast all the days and pray all the
nights as long as I live.” On that, Allah’s Apostle asked me. “Are you the one who says: ‘I will fast all
the days and pray all the nights as long as I live?’ ” I said, “Yes, I have said it.” He said, “You cannot do
that. So fast (sometimes) and do not fast (sometimes). Pray and sleep. Fast for three days a month, for
the reward of a good deed is multiplied by ten time, and so the fasting of three days a month equals
the fasting of a year.” I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I can do (fast) more than this.” He said, “Fast on every
third day. I said: I can do (fast) more than that, He said: “Fast on alternate days and this was the fast –
ing of David which is the most moderate sort of fasting.” I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I can do (fast)
more than that.” He said, “There is nothing better than that.”

The Prophet said to me, “I have been informed that you pray all the nights and observe fast all the
days; is this true?” I replied, “Yes.” He said, “If you do so, your eyes will become weak and you will get
bored. So fast three days a month, for this will be the fasting of a whole year, or equal to the fasting
of a whole year.” I said, “I find myself able to fast more.” He said, “Then fast like the fasting of (the
Prophet) David who used to fast on alternate days and would not flee on facing the enemy.”
Volume 4, Book 55, Number 631:
Narrated Abdullah bin Amr:
Allah’s Apostle said to me, “The most beloved fasting to Allah was the fasting of (the Prophet) David
who used to fast on alternate days. And the most beloved prayer to Allah was the prayer of David
who used to sleep for (the first) half of the night and pray for 1/3 of it and (again) sleep for a sixth of
it.”
