Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Many men attained perfection, but among women, none attained perfection except Asiya, the wife of Pharaoh, and Maryam bint Imran (may Allah have mercy on them). And the superiority of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) over other women is like the superiority of tharid over all other foods.
