1 min readAlso available in العربية

'Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, is the truthful daughter of the truthful, the Mother of the Believers, and the most learned woman of the Ummah. She narrated 2,210 hadiths from the Prophet, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him. Al-Bukhari and Muslim agreed upon 174 hadiths attributed to her, while Al-Bukhari獨自reported 54 and Muslim獨自reported 69. She was the most beloved of the Prophet's wives to him.

'Aisha said: "I have been given nine things that no other woman has been given except Maryam, daughter of 'Imran: Jibreel brought my image in his palm until he commanded the Messenger of Allah, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, to marry me. He married me as a virgin, and he did not marry any other virgin besides me. He passed away with his head on my lap. I buried him in my house. The angels encircled my house. When revelation descended upon him while he was among his family, they would disperse from him, but it would descend upon him while I was with him under his blanket. I am the daughter of his Caliph and his truthful friend. My exoneration was revealed from the heavens. I was created pure, and I am with a pure one. I have been promised forgiveness and a noble provision."
