عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ((خَيْرُ نِسَائِهَا بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ وَخَيْرُ نِسَائِهَا خَدِيجَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sayyida Maryam bint Imran (peace be upon her) was the best among the women of her time, and Sayyida Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) was the best among the women of her era."
