The Prophet ﷺ said, "Many men reached perfection but none among the women reached perfection except Mary, the daughter of ' ʿImran, and Asia, Pharoah's wife. And the superiority of ʿAisha to other women is like the superiority of Tharid to other kinds of food.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ كَمَلَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ كَثِيرٌ وَلَمْ يَكْمُلْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلاَّ مَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ وَآسِيَةُ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَفَضْلُ عَائِشَةَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ كَفَضْلِ الثَّرِيدِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الطَّعَامِ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The superiority of ʿAisha to other women is like the superiority of Tharid to other kinds of food . "  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ فَضْلُ عَائِشَةَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ كَفَضْلِ الثَّرِيدِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الطَّعَامِ  

I went along with the Prophet ﷺ to the house of a young tailor of his. The tailor presented a dish of Tharid to the Prophet ﷺ and resumed his work. The Prophet ﷺ started picking the pieces of gourd and I too, started picking them and putting it before him. Since then I have always loved (to eat) gourd.  

دَخَلْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَلَى غُلاَمٍ لَهُ خَيَّاطٍ فَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ قَصْعَةً فِيهَا ثَرِيدٌ قَالَ وَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى عَمَلِهِ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَتَتَبَّعُ الدُّبَّاءَ قَالَ فَجَعَلْتُ أَتَتَبَّعُهُ فَأَضَعُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ قَالَ فَمَا زِلْتُ بَعْدُ أُحِبُّ الدُّبَّاءَ
