عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ خَطَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَرْبَعَةَ خُطُوطٍ قَالَ ”تَدْرُونَ مَا هَذِهِ“ فَقَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”أَفْضَلُ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ خَدِيجَةُ بِنْتُ خُوَيْلِدٍ وَفَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَآسِيَةُ بِنْتُ مُزَاحِمٍ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُنَّ“
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: … It was none other than Sayyidah Asiyah alayha as-salam who defended Musa alayhis-salam in the palace of Pharaoh. Salutations to the greatness of that woman, who, while living in the house of Pharaoh, proved herself worthy of Paradise. Reflect on the following narration:

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu says: "Indeed, Pharaoh fixed four pegs for his wife, in her two hands and two feet. When they (the people of Pharaoh) would leave her, the angels would shade her. She said: {رَبِّ ابْنِ لِيْ عِنْدَکَ بَیْتًا فِيْ الْجَنَّۃِ وَنَجِّنِيْ مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَمَلِہِ وَنَجِّنِيْ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِیْنَ}, so the veil was lifted for her from her house in Paradise." … Pharaoh drove four nails into his wife's two hands and two feet. When they (the people of Pharaoh) would leave her, the angels would shade her. This wife said: 'O my Lord! Build for me, near You, a house in Paradise, and save me from Pharaoh and his deeds, and save me from the wrongdoing people.' So Allah, the Exalted, lifted the veil from her house in Paradise and showed her house. (Musnad Abu Ya'la: 4/1521-1522, Sahihah: 2508)

Trials certainly come upon the servants of Allah, but the mercy of the Lord that they attain due to their patience in these trials is far greater than those hardships.
