[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to praise Khadijah, so when she passed away, he said: "I used to hear a lot about her. Her cheekbones were red. Allah has replaced her with someone better than her." He replied, "Allah has not replaced me with anyone better than her. She believed in me when people disbelieved in me, she confirmed my words when people rejected me, and she supported me with her wealth when people deprived me. And Allah has blessed me with children from her when people prevented me from having children."  

أحمد:٢٤٨٦٤ – حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُجَالِدٌ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا ذَكَرَ خَدِيجَةَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهَا فَأَحْسَنَ الثَّنَاءَ قَالَتْ فَغِرْتُ يَوْمًا فَقُلْتُ مَا أَكْثَرَ مَا تَذْكُرُهَا حَمْرَاءَ الشِّدْقِ قَدْ أَبْدَلَكَ اللهُ ﷻ بِهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا قَالَ مَا أَبْدَلَنِي اللهُ ﷻ خَيْرًا مِنْهَا قَدْ آمَنَتْ بِي إِذْ كَفَرَ بِي النَّاسُ وَصَدَّقَتْنِي إِذْ كَذَّبَنِي النَّاسُ وَوَاسَتْنِي بِمَالِهَا إِذْ حَرَمَنِي النَّاسُ وَرَزَقَنِي اللهُ ﷻ وَلَدَهَا إِذْ حَرَمَنِي أَوْلَادَ النِّسَاءِ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ would always speak highly of Khadijah, so I asked him, "What do you remember about her when Allah has replaced her with someone better?" He replied, "Allah has not replaced her with someone better. She believed in me when the people rejected me, she supported me with her wealth when the people denied me, and Allah blessed me with children through her when He did not bless me through anyone else."  

الطبراني:١٩٤١٩ – حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ ثنا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا ذَكَرَ خَدِيجَةَ أَحْسَنَ عَلَيْهَا الثَّنَاءَ فَقُلْتُ مَا تَذْكُرُ مِنْهَا وَقَدْ أَبْدَلَكَ اللهُ بِهَا خَيْرًا؟ قَالَ «مَا أَبْدَلَنِي اللهُ بِهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا صَدَّقَتْنِي إِذْ كَذَّبَنِي النَّاسُ وَوَاسَتْنِي بِمَالِهَا إِذْ حَرَمَنِي النَّاسُ وَرَزَقَنِي اللهُ مِنْهَا الْوَلَدَ إِذْ لَمْ يَرْزُقْنِي مِنْ غَيْرِهَا»

"مَا أبْدلَنِى اللهُ خَيرًا منْهَا، قَدْ آمَنَتْ بِى إِذ كَفَرَ النَّاسُ، وَصَدَّقَتْنِى إِذ كَذَّبنِي النَّاسُ، وَوَاسَتْنِى بِمَالِهَا إِذْ حَرَمَنِى النَّاسُ، وَرَزقَنِى اللهُ وَلَدَهَا إِذْ حَرَمَنِى أوْلادَ النِّسَاءِ - يعني خديجة".
