Best women of mankindAnas reports that the Messenger of
Allaah, salla Allaahu alaihi wa sallam, said: 'The best women of
mankind are four: Mariam daughter of `Imraan, Assiya wife of Pharaoh, Khadija daughter of Khuwailid, and
Fatima the daughter of the Messenger of Allaah.' [Bukhari and Muslim]
Also in Musnad of Imam Ahmad
Mirza Ali-Mohammed 30
Aisha jealous of KhadijahNarrated 'Aisha: I did not feel jealous of any
of the wives of the Prophet as much as I did of Khadija, (although) she died before he married me, for I often heard him mentioning her, and Allaah had told him to give her the good tidings that she would have a palace of Qasab (i.e. pipes of precious stones and pearls in Paradise), and whenever he slaughtered a sheep, he would send her women-friends a good share of it. [Sahih al-Bukhari]
