It is narrated from Urwah that he used to say to Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her): Mother! I am not surprised at your intelligence and understanding, because I can say that you are the wife of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the daughter of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). (Therefore, being intelligent is not surprising.) I am also not surprised at your knowledge of poetry and historical information; I can say that you are the daughter of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), who had the most knowledge about poetry and history. What surprises me is your medical knowledge—how did you acquire it? Upon hearing my words, she struck her hand on my shoulder and said: O ‘Urayyah! In the last part of his life, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to remain ill, so delegations from all around Arabia would come to him, and they would mention various medicines and prescriptions before him, and I used to treat him. This is how I acquired this knowledge.

Lamis narrates, she says: I asked Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) whether a woman can apply oil to make her face clearer in order to gain her husband's affection. She replied: Keep it away from yourself, Allah Almighty does not look towards the woman who applies it. Another woman said to Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): O mother! Sayyida replied: I am not your mother, I am your sister. Then Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray and sleep during the first twenty days (of Ramadan), but when the last ten days began, he would tighten his waistcloth and devote himself to worship.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) talking to a man with his hand placed on the neck of a horse. I said, "I saw you talking to someone with your hand placed on the neck of Dihya Kalbi's horse." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said, "Did you see that?" I replied, "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said, "That was Jibreel (Gabriel), and he was conveying greetings of peace to you." I replied, "And peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon him. May Allah reward this companion and guest with goodness; he is the best companion and the best guest." Imam Ahmad's teacher, Imam Sufyan bin Uyaynah, explained that "al-dakhil" means guest.

(Second chain) Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: O Aisha! This is Jibreel (peace be upon him), and he is conveying greetings of peace to you. I said: Upon you and upon him be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. O Messenger of Allah! You see what we cannot see.

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The superiority of Aisha over all other women is like the superiority of tharid over all other foods.

Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Aisha has superiority over all other women just as tharid has superiority over all other foods."

Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Many men have attained the rank of perfection, but among women, only Maryam bint Imran and Asiya, the wife of Pharaoh, have reached the rank of perfection. And Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) has superiority over all other women just as tharid has superiority over all other foods.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) by her servant Zikwan that when the Mother of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with her) was near death, her nephew Abdullah bin Abdur Rahman was sitting by her side when Zikwan sought permission for Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) to enter, saying: "Your best son, Ibn Abbas, seeks permission to come in." The Mother of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Keep me safe from Ibn Abbas and his praise and commendation." In another narration, the words are: "I fear that he will come and start praising and commending me." But Abdullah bin Abdur Rahman said to her: "He is a reciter of Allah's Book, a great jurist (scholar) of Allah's religion; allow him to come in so that he may greet you and bid you farewell as you depart from this world." So the Mother of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "If you wish, then let him in." Abdullah gave him permission to enter. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) came in, greeted her, sat down, and then said: "Mother of the Believers! Congratulations to you, by Allah! Now, between you and every kind of pain and hardship, and between you and meeting Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his company, there is only the delay of your soul departing from your body." She said: "Yes, that is correct, and what else?" Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) loved you the most among all his wives, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to like only what was good, and Allah Almighty revealed the command of your exoneration from above the seven heavens." In another narration, it is added that this command was brought by Jibreel (peace be upon him). In every mosque on the face of the earth, day and night, these verses of exoneration are recited, and when your necklace fell at the place of Abwa, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the noble Companions stayed there searching for it until morning came and the people had no water for ablution. So Allah Almighty revealed: {فَتَیَمَّمُوا صَعِیدًا طَیِّبًا … } (Surah Al-Ma'idah: 6), commanding that if you do not find water, then perform tayammum with clean earth; because of this incident of yours, this concession was granted to all people. By Allah, you are extremely blessed. Hearing these words, Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Ibn Abbas! Leave these matters, I would prefer to be completely forgotten."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said to Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): You have been called the Mother of the Believers merely to express your excellence, otherwise, even before your birth, this honor was destined for you (by Allah Almighty). Urwah bin Zubair states that Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) passed away at night, and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) buried her that very night.
