Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a proposal of marriage to Umm Hani bint Abi Talib. She said: O Messenger of Allah! I am old in age and I have children. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The best women who ride camels are the women of Quraysh; they show great affection to their young children and protect their husband's property with utmost care. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sayyidah Maryam bint Imran never rode a camel.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu, by mentioning Sayyidah Maryam radi Allahu anha, wishes to clarify that the women of the Quraysh are not superior to Sayyidah Maryam.
In reality, the women of the Quraysh are being given superiority over the rest of the Arab women due to their qualities.
