ʿAisha said, "Once Messenger of Allah ﷺ said (to me), 'O Aish (ʿAisha)! This is Gabriel greeting you.' I said, 'Peace and Allah's Mercy and Blessings be on him, you see what I don't see' " She was addressing Allah 's Apostle.  

أَبُو سَلَمَةَ إِنَّ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا يَا عَائِشَ هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ يُقْرِئُكِ السَّلاَمَ فَقُلْتُ وَعَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ تَرَى مَا لاَ أَرَى تُرِيدُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Many amongst men attained perfection but amongst women none attained the perfection except Mary, the daughter of ʿImran and Asiya, the wife of Pharaoh. And the superiority of ʿAisha to other women is like the superiority of Tharid (i.e. an Arabic dish) to other meals."  

عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ ؓ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَلَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ كَثِيرٌ وَلَمْ يَكْمُلْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلاَّ مَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ وَآسِيَةُ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَفَضْلُ عَائِشَةَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ كَفَضْلِ الثَّرِيدِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الطَّعَامِ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The superiority of ʿAisha over other women is like the superiority of Tharid to other meals."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فَضْلُ عَائِشَةَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ كَفَضْلِ الثَّرِيدِ عَلَى الطَّعَامِ  

Once ʿAisha became sick and Ibn ʿAbbas went to see her and said, "O mother of the believers! You are leaving for truthful fore-runners i.e. for Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr.  

يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ تَقْدَمِينَ عَلَى فَرَطِ صِدْقٍ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ  

When ʿAli sent ʿAmmar and Al-Hasan to (the people of) Kufa to urge them to fight, ʿAmmar addressed them saying, "I know that she (i.e. ʿAisha) is the wife of the Prophet ﷺ in this world and in the Hereafter (world to come), but Allah has put you to test, whether you will follow Him (i.e. Allah) or her."  

لَمَّا بَعَثَ عَلِيٌّ عَمَّارًا وَالْحَسَنَ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ لِيَسْتَنْفِرَهُمْ خَطَبَ عَمَّارٌ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا زَوْجَتُهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ ابْتَلاَكُمْ لِتَتَّبِعُوهُ أَوْ إِيَّاهَا  

That she borrowed a necklace from Asma' and it was lost. Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent some of his companions to look for it. During their journey the time of prayer was due and they prayed without ablution. When they returned to the Prophet ﷺ they complained about it. So the Divine Verse of Tayammum was revealed. Usaid bin Hudair said (to ʿAisha), "May Allah reward you handsomely. By Allah, whenever you have a difficulty, Allah took you out of it and brought with it, a Blessing for the Muslims."  

أَنَّهَا اسْتَعَارَتْ مِنْ أَسْمَاءَ قِلاَدَةً فَهَلَكَتْ فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِي طَلَبِهَا فَأَدْرَكَتْهُمُ الصَّلاَةُ فَصَلَّوْا بِغَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ فَلَمَّا أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ شَكَوْا ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ التَّيَمُّمِ فَقَالَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ جَزَاكِ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا فَوَاللَّهِ مَا نَزَلَ بِكِ أَمْرٌ قَطُّ إِلاَّ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَكِ مِنْهُ مَخْرَجًا وَجَعَلَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ فِيهِ بَرَكَةً  

When Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in his fatal illness, he started visiting his wives and saying, "Where will I be tomorrow?" He was anxious to be in ʿAisha's home. ʿAisha said, "So when it was my day, the Prophet became silent (no longer asked the question).  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمَّا كَانَ فِي مَرَضِهِ جَعَلَ يَدُورُ فِي نِسَائِهِ وَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ أَنَا غَدًا أَيْنَ أَنَا غَدًا حِرْصًا عَلَى بَيْتِ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمِي سَكَنَ  

The people used to send presents to the Prophet ﷺ on the day of ʿAisha's turn. ʿAisha said, "My companions (i.e. the other wives of the Prophet) gathered in the house of Um Salama and said, "O Um Salama! By Allah, the people choose to send presents on the day of ʿAisha's turn and we too, love the good (i.e. presents etc.) as ʿAisha does. You should tell Messenger of Allah ﷺ to tell the people to send their presents to him wherever he may be, or wherever his turn may be." Um Salama said that to the Prophet and he turned away from her, and when the Prophet ﷺ returned to her (i.e. Um Salama), she repeated the same, and the Prophet ﷺ again turned away, and when she told him the same for the third time, the Prophet ﷺ said, "O Um Salama! Don't trouble me by harming ʿAisha, for by Allah, the Divine Inspiration never came to me while I was under the blanket of any woman amongst you except her."  

كَانَ النَّاسُ يَتَحَرَّوْنَ بِهَدَايَاهُمْ يَوْمَ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَاجْتَمَعَ صَوَاحِبِي إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَقُلْنَ يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَتَحَرَّوْنَ بِهَدَايَاهُمْ يَوْمَ عَائِشَةَ وَإِنَّا نُرِيدُ الْخَيْرَ كَمَا تُرِيدُهُ عَائِشَةُ فَمُرِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَأْمُرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يُهْدُوا إِلَيْهِ حَيْثُ مَا كَانَ أَوْ حَيْثُ مَا دَارَ قَالَتْ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي فَلَمَّا عَادَ إِلَىَّ ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ ذَاكَ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ لاَ تُؤْذِينِي فِي عَائِشَةَ فَإِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا نَزَلَ عَلَىَّ الْوَحْىُ وَأَنَا فِي لِحَافِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْكُنَّ غَيْرِهَا
