Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) drew four lines on the ground, then asked: Do you know about these lines? They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The most virtuous women of Paradise are these four: Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, Fatimah bint Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), Asiyah bint Muzahim, the wife of Pharaoh, and Maryam bint Imran.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Sayyidah Khadijah radi Allahu anha—who is Sayyidah Khadijah? When people were disbelieving in Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, at that time Sayyidah Khadijah believed in him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. When the arrogant were holding back from him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, then Sayyidah Khadijah affirmed him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. When people were being miserly towards him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, at that time Sayyidah Khadijah showed generosity to him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. When estrangement surrounded him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, at that time Sayyidah Khadijah showed intimacy to him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. When he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was distressed at the first arrival of our master Jibril alayhis salam, at that time Sayyidah Khadijah comforted him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam by mentioning his noble qualities, and she took him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to Waraqah bin Nawfal.
