Is there a Hadith stating that a woman asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Who is most deserving of my companionship?" and he replied: "Your husband, then your husband, then your husband"?

There is no explicit Hadith stating, "Paradise is under the feet of mothers." However, the Hadith reported by An-Nasa'i and Al-Hakim from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) suffices, in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Who has the greatest right over a woman?" He replied: "Her husband." I asked: "Who has the greatest right over a man?" He replied: "His mother."
