The women of Quraysh

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a marriage proposal to a woman from his people named Sayyidah Sawdah (may Allah be pleased with her). She was a widow with five, or perhaps six, children; her husband had died. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "Why will you not marry me?" She said: By Allah, O Messenger of Allah! What holds me back from marrying you is not that you are anything less than the most beloved of all creation to me; rather, I wish to spare you having these children at your head morning and evening, crying and clamouring. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is there anything else holding you back?" She said: No, by Allah! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May Allah Almighty have mercy on you. Of the women who ride on the backs of camels, the best are the righteous women of Quraysh: the most tender towards their children in their childhood, and the most caring of their husbands in what they possess."
Ahmad, Abu Ya'la and at-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains Shahr bin Hawshab, who is thiqah (trustworthy), though there has been criticism of him; the rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Of the women who ride camels, the best are the women of Quraysh: the most tender towards their children in their childhood, and the kindest to their husbands despite their poverty (or: the most loving towards them)." Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) knew that the daughter of Imran never rode a camel. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say:
This narration is mentioned in the "Sahih", but without these words: "He knew that" to the end; in the "Sahih"
this part is mawquf (attributed to the Companion), while here it is marfu' (attributed to the Prophet).
Ahmad and Abu Ya'la recorded it; the narrators of Ahmad are the narrators of the Sahih.

Sayyiduna Talhah bin Ubaydullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say on the road to Makkah: "Of the women who ride camels, the best are the women of Quraysh: the most tender towards children and the most caring of their husbands."
Al-Bazzar recorded it; its chain contains Abu Bakr bin Abi Sabrah, who is matruk (abandoned).

Sayyidah Umm Hani bint Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) proposed marriage to me, and I said: O Messenger of Allah! It is not that I have no desire for you, but I do not like to marry while my children are small. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Why is that? Of the women who ride camels, the best are the women of Quraysh: the most tender towards children in their childhood and the most caring of their husbands." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: At-Tirmidhi recorded a narration from Sayyidah Umm Hani (may Allah be pleased with her) other than this one.
At-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).

Zayd bin Abi al-Attab narrates: Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) stood on the pulpit and said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Of the women who ride camels, the best are the women of Quraysh: the most caring of their husbands, and the most tender towards their children in their childhood."
At-Tabarani recorded it in the course of a longer hadith, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy). Other hadiths of this kind will come in the chapter on virtues (Manaqib).
