Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say that the women of Quraysh are the best women who have ever ridden camels; they are the most compassionate to their children (when they are young) and the best guardians of their husbands’ wealth. (The narrator says that) Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say that Sayyidah Maryam bint ‘Imran (may Allah be pleased with her) never rode a camel.
