حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُرَّةَ الْهَمْدَانِيَّ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ رضى الله عنه

قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَضْلُ عَائِشَةَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ كَفَضْلِ الثَّرِيدِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الطَّعَامِ، كَمَلَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ كَثِيرٌ، وَلَمْ يَكْمُلْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلاَّ مَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ وَآسِيَةُ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “The superiority of Aishah to other ladies is like the superiority of Tharid (i.e. meat and bread dish) to other meals. Many men reached the level of perfection, but no woman reached such a level except Mary, the daughter of Imran and Asia, the wife of Pharaoh.”

আবূ মূসা আল-আশ‘আরী (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন, সকল নারীর উপর ‘আয়িশাহর মর্যাদা এমন, যেমন সকল খাদ্যের উপর সারীদের মর্যাদা। পুরুষদের মধ্যে অনেকেই পূর্ণাঙ্গতা অর্জন করেছেন। কিন্তু নারীদের মধ্যে ইমরানের কন্যা মারইয়াম এবং ফির‘আউনের স্ত্রী আছিয়া ছাড়া কেউ পূর্ণাঙ্গতা অর্জন করতে পারেনি। (৩৪১১)

ہم سے آدم بن ابی ایاس نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے شعبہ نے بیان کیا، ان سے عمرو بن مرہ نے، انہوں نے کہا ہم کہ میں نے مرہ ہمدانی سے سنا۔ وہ ابوموسیٰ اشعری رضی اللہ عنہ سے بیان کرتے تھے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”عورتوں پر عائشہ کی فضیلت ایسے ہے جیسے تمام کھانوں پر ثرید کی۔

مردوں میں سے تو بہت سے کامل ہو گزرے ہیں لیکن عورتوں میں مریم بنت عمران اور فرعون کی بیوی آسیہ کے سوا اور کوئی کامل پیدا نہیں ہوئی۔“

Ebu Musa el-Eş'ari r.a. dedi ki: "Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurdu: Aişe'nin kadınlara üstünlüğü tiridin diğer yemeklere üstünlüğü gibidir. Erkeklerden pek çok kişi kemale erdiği halde kadınlardan ancak İmran kızı Meryem ile Firavun'un karısı Asiye kemale ermiştir

What it means

The men who attained religious and moral perfection are many. Some reached the common level of perfection such as scholars, righteous men, and pious allies of Allah. Others reached the most sublime levels of perfection such as the prophets. However, there are very few women who attained perfection; on top of which were Āsiyah bint Muzāhim, the wife of Pharaoh.

Allah presented her as an example of perfect faith in the Qur'an: {And Allah presents an example of those who believed: the wife of Pharaoh, when she said: "My Lord, build for me near You a house in Paradise and save me from Pharaoh and his deeds and save me from the wrongdoing people"} [Sūrat At-Tahrīm:11]. She believed in Mūsa (peace be upon him) when he overcame the magicians of Pharaoh.

When Pharaoh found out about her conversion, he tortured her severely until she died adhering to her faith. The other perfect lady was Maryam, the daughter of ‘Imrān. Allah presented her as an example of chastity and perfect worship in the Qur'an. Finally, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said that the merit of ‘Ā'ishah over women is like the merit of Tharīd over all other food.

Tharīd is the most delicious food for Arabs. It is made of bread and meat. So, ‘Ā'ishah is the best of women, just as the Tharīd is the best of food.
