She said that God’s messenger’s wives were in two parties, one including `A’isha, Hafsa, Safiya, and Sauda, and the other including Umm Salama and the rest of God’s messenger’s wives Umm Salama’s party spoke to her telling her to ask God’s messenger to say to the people, “If anyone wishes to make a present to God’s messenger, let him present it to him wherever he happens to be.” She did so and he replied, “Do not annoy me regarding `A’isha, for inspiration has not some to me when I was in any woman’s garment but `A’isha’s.” She said, “I repent to God of annoying you, messenger of God.” They then called Fatima, sent her to God’s messenger, and she spoke to him, but he replied, “Do you not like what I like, girlie?” She said, “Certainly,” so he said; “Then love this woman[*].” *i.e., Aisha. (Bukhari and Muslim.) The tradition of Anas, “`A’isha’s superiority over women…” has been mentioned in the chapter on the beginning of creation on Aba Musa’s authority.

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.)
