60. Prophets

٦٠۔ كتاب أحاديث الأنبياء

60.45 "And (remember) when the angels said: 'O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah has chosen you..."

٦٠۔٤٥ بَابُ: {وَإِذْ قَالَتِ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ يَا مَرْيَمُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَاكِ وَطَهَّرَكِ وَاصْطَفَاكِ عَلَى نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ}

[Machine] "O Mary, submit yourself with obedience to your Lord and prostrate and bow down with those who bow down [in prayer]. This is part of the news from the unseen, which We reveal to you [O Muhammad]. You were not with them when they cast their pens as to which of them should be responsible for Mary. Nor were you with them when they were disputing." It is said, "They were arguing and claiming responsibility over Mary, and you were not present with them." This is not the same as guaranteeing a loan, but it is similar to it.

{يَا مَرْيَمُ اقْنُتِي لِرَبِّكِ وَاسْجُدِي وَارْكَعِي مَعَ الرَّاكِعِينَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَنْبَاءِ الْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا كُنْتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ يُلْقُونَ أَقْلاَمَهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ يَكْفُلُ مَرْيَمَ وَمَا كُنْتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ يَخْتَصِمُونَ} يُقَالُ يَكْفُلُ يَضُمُّ، كَفَلَهَا ضَمَّهَا، مُخَفَّفَةً لَيْسَ مِنْ كَفَالَةِ الدُّيُونِ وَشِبْهِهَا.

I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Mary, the daughter of ʿImran, was the best among the women (of the world of her time) and Khadija is the best amongst the women. (of this nation).  

البخاري:٣٤٣٢حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ عَنْ هِشَامٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا ؓ يَقُولُ

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ خَيْرُ نِسَائِهَا مَرْيَمُ ابْنَةُ عِمْرَانَ وَخَيْرُ نِسَائِهَا خَدِيجَةُ
