Sunan Ibn Majah 3280 (Book 29, Hadith 30) #32634
The Excellence of Maryam bint 'Imran and Asiyah

SUMMARY: This hadith speaks of the excellence of Maryam bint 'Imran and Asiyah, wife of Firawn, as two women who have attained perfection. It also mentions the superiority of Aishah over other women.

It was narrated from Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari that the Prophet said: "Many men have attained perfection but no women have attained perfection except Maryam bint 'Imran (Mary) and Asiyah the wife of Fir’awn. And the superiority of 'Aishah over other women is like the superiority of Tharid over all other foods".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ مُرَّةَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ كَمَلَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ كَثِيرٌ وَلَمْ يَكْمُلْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلاَّ مَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ وَآسِيَةُ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَإِنَّ فَضْلَ عَائِشَةَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ كَفَضْلِ الثَّرِيدِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الطَّعَامِ
