48. Virtues of the Companions
٤٨۔ كِتَابُ الْمَنَاقِبِ
The Prophet ﷺ said, "The superiority of ʿAisha to other women is like the superiority of Tharid to other kinds of food . " (Using translation from Bukhārī 5419)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «فَضْلُ عَائِشَةَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ كَفَضْلِ الثَّرِيدِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الطَّعَامِ»
"The Messenger of Allah said: 'O Umm Salamah, do not bother me about 'Aishah, for by Allah, the Revelation has never come to me under the blanket of any of you apart from her.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3949)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ «لَا تُؤْذِينِي فِي عَائِشَةِ فَإِنَّهُ وَاللهِ مَا أَتَانِي الْوَحْيُ فِي لِحَافِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْكُنَّ إِلَّا هِيَ»
"Allah sent Revelation to the Prophet when I was with him, so I got up and closed the door between him and I. When it was taken off him, he said to me: 'O 'Aishah, Jibril sends greetings of Salam to you.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3952)
«أُوحِيَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَقُمْتُ فَأَجَفْتُ الْبَابَ فَلَمَّا رُفِّهَ عَنْهُ» قَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ «إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ يُقْرِئُكِ السَّلَامَ»
