nasai-kubra:8442Muḥammad b. Ādam > Ibn Abū Ghaniyyah from his father > Abū Isḥāq > Jumayʿ / Ibn ʿUmayr

[Machine] I entered with my mother to Aisha's house when I was a child, and I mentioned Ali to her. She said, "I have never seen a man loved by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ more than him, nor a woman loved by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ more than his wife."  

الكبرى للنسائي:٨٤٤٢أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ آدَمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي غَنِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ جُمَيْعٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عُمَيْرٍ قَالَ

دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أُمِّي عَلَى عَائِشَةَ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهَا عَلِيًّا فَقَالَتْ «مَا رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْهُ وَلَا امْرَأَةً أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ»
