حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ مَا غِرْتُ عَلَی نِسَائِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا عَلَی خَدِيجَةَ وَإِنِّي لَمْ أُدْرِکْهَا قَالَتْ وَکَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا ذَبَحَ الشَّاةَ فَيَقُولُ أَرْسِلُوا بِهَا إِلَی أَصْدِقَائِ خَدِيجَةَ قَالَتْ فَأَغْضَبْتُهُ يَوْمًا فَقُلْتُ خَدِيجَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي قَدْ رُزِقْتُ حُبَّهَا
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 6278
A'isha reported: Never did I feel jealous of the wives of Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) but in case of Khadija, although I did no, (have the privilege to) see her. She further added that whenever Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) slaughtered a sheep, he said: Send it to the companions of Khadija I annoyed him one day and said: (It is) Khadija only who always prevails upon your mind. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Her love had been nurtured in my heart by Allah Himself.
