Mishkat al-Masabih 30 Fine Qualities كتاب المناقب 170

وَعَنْ جُمَيْعِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ مَعَ عَمَّتِي عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَسَأَلْتُ: أَيُّ النَّاسِ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَتْ: فَاطِمَةُ. فَقِيلَ: مِنَ الرِّجَالِ؟ قَالَتْ: زَوْجُهَا إِنْ كَانَ مَا عَلِمْتُ صَوَّامًا قَوَّامًا. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ

Jumai’ b. `Umair said: I went in with my paternal aunt to visit `A’isha and asked[*] who was dearest to God’s messenger. When she replied that it was Fatima, she was asked who was dearest among men and replied that it was her husband. *It is not clear from the text in Mirqat whether Jumai’ or his paternal aunt asked the question. The word is not pointed, and the third singular feminine and the first singular have the same consonants. Cf. Mirqat , 5:601. Tirmidhi transmitted it.
