حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ مُرَّةَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَی الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ کَمَلَ مِنْ الرِّجَالِ کَثِيرٌ وَلَمْ يَکْمُلْ مِنْ النِّسَائِ إِلَّا مَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ وَآسِيَةُ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَإِنَّ فَضْلَ عَائِشَةَ عَلَی النِّسَائِ کَفَضْلِ الثَّرِيدِ عَلَی سَائِرِ الطَّعَامِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3280
It was narrated from Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari that the Prophet said: "Many men have attained perfection but no women have attained perfection except Maryam bint 'Imran (Mary) and Asiyah the wife of Fir'awn. And the superiority of 'Aishah over other women is like the superiority of Tharid over all other foods."
