Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: The best women who ride camels (i.e., Arab women) are the women of the Quraysh. They are the most loving and compassionate towards their children and the best guardians and protectors of their husbands’ wealth and possessions. After narrating this hadith, Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say that Maryam bint Imran never rode a camel.
