حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ رضى الله عنه

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

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) 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 Aishah to other women is like the superiority of Tharid (i.e. an Arabic dish) to other meals.”

আবূ মূসা আশ‘আরী (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন, পুরুষদের মধ্যে অনেকেই পূর্ণতাপ্রাপ্ত হয়েছে, কিন্তু নারীদের মধ্যে মারইয়াম বিনত ‘ইমরান ও ফিরাউনের স্ত্রী আসিয়া (রহ.) ছাড়া অন্য কেউ তাদের মত পূর্ণতাপ্রাপ্ত হননি। আর ‘আয়িশাহ (রাঃ)-এর মর্যাদা ও শ্রেষ্ঠত্ব অন্যান্য নারীদের উপর এমন যেমন সারীদ অর্থাৎ গোশ্ত এবং রুটি দ্বারা তৈরী খাদ্য বিশেষ এর মর্যাদা অন্যান্য খাদ্যদ্রব্যের উপর। (৩৪১১)

ہم سے آدم نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے شعبہ نے بیان کیا، کہا (امام بخاری رحمہ اللہ نے) اور ہم سے عمرو نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم کو شعبہ نے خبر دی، انہیں عمرو بن مرہ نے، انہیں مرہ نے اور انہیں ابوموسیٰ اشعری رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”مردوں میں تو بہت سے کامل پیدا ہوئے لیکن عورتوں میں مریم بنت عمران، فرعون کی بیوی آسیہ کے سوا اور کوئی کامل پیدا نہیں ہوئی، اور عائشہ کی فضیلت عورتوں پر ایسی ہے جیسے ثرید کی فضیلت بقیہ تمام کھانوں پر ہے۔“

Telah bercerita kepada kami [Adam] telah bercerita kepada kami [Syu'bah] berkata; Dan diriwayatkan pula, telah bercerita kepada kami ['Amru] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Syu'bah] dari ['Amru bin Murrah] dari [Murrah] dari [Abu Musa Al Asy'ariy radliallahu 'anhu] berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Manusia yang sempurna dari kalangan laki-laki sekian banyak, namun tidak ada manusia sempurna dari kalangan wanita melainkan Maryam bin ti 'Imran, Asiyah, dan istrinya Fir'aun.

Dan keutamaan 'Aisyah terhadap wanita-waita lain bagaikan keutamaan makanan tsarid dibandingkan seluruh makanan lain".". (Tsarid adalah sejenis makanan yang terbuat dari daging dan roti yang dibuat bubur dan berkuah)

Ebu Musa el-Eş'ari r.a. dedi ki: Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurdu: "Erkeklerden pek çok kişi kemale ermiştir. Kadınlardan ise İmran kızı Meryem ile Fir'avun'un hanımı Asiye'nin dışında kimse kemale ermemiştir. Aişe'nin diğer kadınlara üstünlüğü de tiridin diğer yemeklere olan üstünlüğü gibidir

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.
