وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: مَا غِرْتُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ نِسَاءِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا غِرْتُ عَلَى خَدِيجَةَ وَمَا رَأَيْتُهَا وَلَكِنْ كَانَ يُكْثِرُ ذِكْرَهَا وَرُبَّمَا ذَبَحَ الشَّاةَ ثُمَّ يُقَطِّعُهَا أَعْضَاءً ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُهَا فِي صدائق خَدِيجَة فَيَقُول: «إِنَّهَا كَانَت وَكَانَت وَكَانَتْ وَكَانَ لِي مِنْهَا وُلْدٌ» . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ

`A’isha said: I was not so jealous of any of the Prophet’s wives as I was of Khadija. I never saw her, but he frequently mentioned her, and he would often kill a sheep, cut it in pieces and send, them round among Khadija’s friends. I often said to him, “It seems as if Khadija was the only woman in the world,” and he replied, “She was indeed a fine woman, and I had children from her.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)
