حَدَّثَنَا
سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
اللَّيْثُ ، قَالَ : كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ
هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ
عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتْ : " مَا غِرْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا غِرْتُ عَلَى خَدِيجَةَ هَلَكَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَنِي لِمَا كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُهُ يَذْكُرُهَا وَأَمَرَهُ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُبَشِّرَهَا بِبَيْتٍ مِنْ قَصَبٍ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لَيَذْبَحُ الشَّاةَ فَيُهْدِي فِي خَلَائِلِهَا مِنْهَا مَا يَسَعُهُنَّ " .
Narrated `Aisha: I did not feel jealous of any of the wives of the Prophet as much as I did of Khadija (although) she died before he married me, for I often heard him mentioning her, and Allah had told him to give her the good tidings that she would have a palace of Qasab (i.e. pipes of precious stones and pearls in Paradise), and whenever he slaughtered a sheep, he would send her women-friends a good share of it.
