48. Virtues of the Companions
٤٨۔ كِتَابُ الْمَنَاقِبِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Many men have reached perfection but only two women have reached perfection: Maryam bint Imran and Asiyah bint Muzahim, the wife of Pharaoh."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «كَمُلَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ كَثِيرٌ وَلَمْ يَكْمُلْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا مَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ وَآسِيَةُ بِنْتُ مُزَاحِمٍ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ»
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew four lines on the ground and said, "Do you know what this is?" They said, Allah and his Messenger know best. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The best of women among the people of Jannah are: (1) Khadījah b. Khuwaylid, (2) Fatimah b. Muḥammad, (3) ‘Āsiyah b. Muzāḥim, the wife of Pharaoh, and (4) Maryam daughter of ‘Imran." (Using translation from Aḥmad 2668)
خَطَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَرْبَعَ خُطُوطٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا؟» قَالُوا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَفْضَلُ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ خَدِيجَةُ بِنْتُ خُوَيْلِدٍ وَفَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَمَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ وَآسِيَةُ بِنْتُ مُزَاحِمٍ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ»
