Hadith Commentary:
➊
In one hadith, it is stated that among men, many have attained perfection, but among women, the perfection of intellect and religion was granted only to Maryam (alayhas-salam) and Asiyah (alayhas-salam).
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Ahadith al-Anbiya, Hadith: 3411)
From this, it apparently seems that the status of Lady Maryam (alayhas-salam) and Lady Asiyah (alayhas-salam) is equal.
From this, it is understood that Lady Maryam (alayhas-salam) is superior to Lady Asiyah (alayhas-salam).
➋
As for the mutual virtue between Lady Khadijah (radi Allahu anha) and Lady Maryam (alayhas-salam), the preferred position in this matter is that Lady Khadijah (radi Allahu anha) is the most virtuous among the women of this Ummah, and Lady Maryam (alayhas-salam) is the most virtuous among the women of her era.

Hadith Commentary:
1.
In this hadith, the virtue of Maryam (alayhas-salam), daughter of Imran, is mentioned. However, despite this virtue, she is not a prophetess (nabiya), because the statement of Allah, the Exalted, is:
“We did not send before you any messengers except men...” (: an-Naml: 44)
Maryam (alayhas-salam), being a woman, is not a prophetess, because all the prophets (anbiya, alayhimus-salam) have been sent from among men.
In an-Nasa’i, it is narrated from Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“The best of the women of Paradise are: Sayyidah Khadijah (radi Allahu anha), Fatimah (radi Allahu anha), Maryam (alayhas-salam), and Asiyah.”
(as-Sunan al-Kubra li’n-Nasa’i: 5/93, Dar al-Kutub al-‘Ilmiyyah, Beirut)
Also, in al-Mustadrak al-Hakim, it is narrated from Hudhayfah (radi Allahu anhu) that an angel came to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and gave the glad tidings that Fatimah (radi Allahu anha) will be the leader of the women of Paradise.
(al-Mustadrak ‘ala as-Sahihayn: 3/164)

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
Bedouins are devoid of knowledge and refinement, and unfamiliar with manners and respect. Therefore, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), overlooking his insolence and lack of etiquette due to his ignorance and lack of understanding, fulfilled his purpose.
