Sahih al-Bukhari 3433 (Book 60, Hadith 104) #3282
The Superiority of 'Aisha and Two Women Who Reached Perfection

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) said that the superiority of 'Aisha to other ladies is like the superiority of Tharid to other meals, and that many men have reached perfection but only two women have done so.

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari: The Prophet said, "The superiority of 'Aisha to other ladies is like the superiority of Tharid (ie meat and bread dish) to other meals. Many men reached the level of perfection, but no woman reached such a level except Mary, the daughter of 'Imran and Asia, the wife of Pharaoh".
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُرَّةَ الْهَمْدَانِيَّ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ فَضْلُ عَائِشَةَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ كَفَضْلِ الثَّرِيدِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الطَّعَامِ، كَمَلَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ كَثِيرٌ، وَلَمْ يَكْمُلْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلاَّ مَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ وَآسِيَةُ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ
