[Machine] I entered with my mother to Aishah, and I heard her asking her from behind the curtain about Ali. She said, "You ask me about a man whom I do not know anyone was more beloved to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than him, nor anyone more beloved to him than his wife."
دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أُمِّي عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَسَمِعْتُهَا تَسْأَلُهَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْحِجَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَتْ «تَسْأَلِينِي عَنْ رَجُلٍ مَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْهُ وَلَا أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ»
