حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ أَبِي حُصَيْنٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ الْأَسَدِيِّ قَال سَمِعْتُ عَمَّارَ بْنَ يَاسِرٍ يَقُولُ هِيَ زَوْجَتُهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ يَعْنِي عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا
Al-Tirmidhi narrates in Kitab al-Manaaqib in “Chapter: The Virtues of Aa’isah (may Allaah be pleased with her)” from Abdullah bin Ziyaad al-Asadee who said: I heard Ammaar bin Yaasir saying, “She is his wife in this life and the hereafter – meaning Aa’ishah (radiallaahu anha).” This hadeeth is Saheeh (Saheeh Sunan al-Tirmidhi, no. 3889).
B. From Arib Ibn Hamid who said: ‘On the day of the camel, Ammar [Ibn Yassir] saw a congregation, so he asked: ‘What is this?’So it was said to him: ‘A man who curses Aaishah and reviles her.’ So he -’Ammar’ went to him and said: ‘Shut up ! You are rebuked and you are refuted ! Do you revile the Habibah (the beloved one) of the Prophet (pbuh) ? Indeed she is his wife in Paradise.’(No. 1647, Fadha’il Al-Sahabah by Imam Ahmad, authenticated by Shaykh Al-Muhaddith Wasiyullah Al-’Abbas Al-Hindi )
2. Narrated Anas(R) : “It was said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Who is the most beloved of the people to you?’ He said: ”Aishah.‘ It was said: ‘From the men?’ He said: ‘Her father.’ [Sunan al-Tirmidhi, #3890 : Sahih].
3. Narrated Abu `Uthman: Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) sent Amr bin Al As as the commander of the troops of Dhat-us-Salasil. Amr bin Al- As said, “(On my return) I came to the Prophet (SAWS) and said, ‘Which people do you love most?’ He replied, `Aisha.‘ I said, ‘From amongst the men?’ He replied, ‘Her father (Abu Bakr)’. I said, ‘Whom (do you love) next?’ He replied, “`Umar.’ Then he counted the names of many men, and I became silent for fear that he might regard me as the last of them.”. [Sahih al-Bukhari #4358] Also [Sahih al-Bukhari #3662].
4. Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani narrated that when Umm Salamah heard that Aisha died, she said: “May Allah forgive her. By Allah in whose hand is my soul, after her father, she was most beloved (person) for prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa ala alihi wa sallam)” (Matalibul aliyah” 5/#4142; “Taqrib al-bughya bi tartib ahadeth al-Hilliyah” 3/126/#3379.) Busiri said: “Taylasi narrated this hadith with authentic chain”( Footnote at the page 75, volume 5 of “Matalibul aliyah”.).
5. It was narrated from Umm Salamah that the wives of the Prophet asked her to speak to the Prophet and tell him, that the people were trying to bring their gifts to him when it was ‘Aishah’s day, and to say to him: “We love good things as much as ‘Aishah does.” So she spoke to him, but he did not reply her. When her turn came again, she spoke to him again, but he did not reply her. They said to her: “How did he respond?” She said: “He did not answer me.” They said: “Do not leave him alone until he answers you or you comprehend what he says.” When her turn came again, she spoke to him and he said: ‘Do not bother me about ‘Aishah, for the Revelation has never come to me under the blanket of any of you apart from the blanket of ‘Aishah.'”(Sunan an-Nasa’i 3950 ; Grading: Sahih)
6. Ahmed narrated in the Chapter of “Virtues” that Thikran, the slave of Aysha, “asked for Aysha’s permission to let Ibn Abbas enter at the time of her death. Abdullah bin Abdulrahman, the son of her brother was present also. Thikran said, “Here is Ibn Abbas asking for your permission to enter. He is the best of your sons.” She said, “Let me off from Ibn Abbas and his justification and purification.” Abdullah bin Abdulrahman told her, “He is a reader of the Book of Allah, and is knowledgeable in the religion of Allah. Let him in to give a salam to you, and to say goodbye.” Aysha answered, “Let him in if you want to.” Abdullah said, “I will give him the permission.” So Ibn Abbas came in, made salam, and had a seat. He said, “O’ Mother of Beleivers, be happy. By Allah, there is nothing between the removal of pain and lie and the meeting of the beloved ones, Muhammad and his Companions except that your soul leaves your body.” Aysha said, “What else?” Ibn Abbas answered, “You were the most beloved wife to the messenger of Allah peace be upon him. He loved none but purity. Allah Almighty revealed your innocence from the seven heavens. There is no mosque on earth that does not recite the verses that proves your innocence day and night. One day your necklace was dropped, so the prophet peace be upon him got caught with the people in the house. And when they wanted to pray, they did not have water. So Allah revealed the verse of Tayamum. It was a permission for people came through you. By Allah, you are holy. She said, “Leave me O’ Ibn Abbas from this. By Allah, I wish I was forgotten.” (Virtues of the Companions, by Ahmed, vol.2, #1639, with a strong attribution)
7. عن عاصم بن كليب عن أبيه قال انتهينا إلى علي رضي الله عنه فذكر عائشة فقال خليلة رسول الله هذا حديث حسن ومصعب فصالح لا بأس به وهذا يقوله أمير المؤمنين في حق عائشة مع ما وقع بينهما فرضي الله
From ‘Asim Ibn Kulayb, from his father who said:”We went to ‘Ali and ‘Aaishah was mentioned. So he [‘Ali] said:”The Khaleelah (the most beloved female) of the Messenger of Allah “. [Siyar alam al-Nubala, vol 2, page 177, Hadith Hassan]
8. Imam Jafar narrated from his father[Imam Baqir] : “Allah’s Apostle in his fatal illness, asked his wives, ‘Where will I be tomorrow? They said with fulan[wife] . So He(saw) Where will I be day after tomorrow?”. They replied with fulan[wife]. Thus the wives of Prophet(saw) understood, He(saw) is seeking Ayesha(as)’s turn. So they said: O Messenger of Allah! We have left our days for Ayesha(as). [Musannaf ibn Abi Shayba]
9. Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari: Allah’s Apostle said, “Many amongst men attained perfection but amongst women none attained the perfection except Mary, the daughter of Imran and Asiya, the wife of Pharaoh. And the superiority of ‘Aisha to other women is like the superiority of Tharid (i.e. an Arabic dish) to other meals.” (Sahih Bukhari – Volume 5, Book 57, Number 113)
10. Al-Tirmidhi narrates in Kitab al-Manaaqib in “Chapter: The Virtues of Aa’isah (may Allaah be pleased with her)” from Anas bin Malik who said that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) said, “The excellence of Aa’ishah over all women is like the excellence of al-Thareed (pieces of bread in vegetable or meat broth) over all other foods.” This hadeeth is Saheeh (Saheeh Sunan al-Tirmidhi, no. 3888).
11. Al-Tirmidhi narrates in Kitab al-Manaaqib in “Chapter: The Virtues of Aa’isah (may Allaah be pleased with her)” from Abu Moosaa who said, “Never did any hadeeth become difficult for us, the companions of Allaah’s Messenger, and we asked Aa’ishah except that we found she had knowledge regarding it.” Saheeh (Saheeh Sunan al-Tirmidhi, no. 3883).
12. Sahi bukhari 6.277: Narrated Ibn Abu Mulaika: Ibn `Abbas asked permission to visit Aisha before her death, and at that time she was in a state of agony. She then said. “I am afraid that he will praise me too much.” And then it was said to her, “He is the cousin of Allah’s Apostle and one of the prominent Muslims.” Then she said, “Allow him to enter.” (When he entered) he said, “How are you?” She replied, “I am Alright if I fear (Allah).” Ibn`Abbas said, “Allah willing, you are Alright as you are the wife of Allah’s Apostle and he did not marry any virgin except you and proof of your innocence was revealed from the Heaven.” Later on Ibn Az−Zubair entered after him and `Aisha said to him, “Ibn `Abbas came to me and praised me greatly, but I wish that I was a thing forgotten and out of sight.”
