[Machine] Aisha, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ showed affection towards me and said, "Indeed, you women are the dearest to me of what I leave behind. By Allah, none will be compassionate towards you except for those who are patient or truthful."  

أحمد:٢٤٨٩٣حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ قَالَتْ

عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَحْنَى عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُنَّ لَأَهَمُّ مَا أَتْرُكُ إِلَى وَرَاءِ ظَهْرِي وَاللهِ لَا يَعْطِفُ عَلَيْكُنَّ إِلَّا الصَّابِرُونَ أَوْ الصَّادِقُونَ
