حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ لَيْثٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَهَا إِنَّمَا سُمِّيتِ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لِتَسْعَدِي وَإِنَّهُ لِاسْمُكِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُولَدِي
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.
