Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 9211 — The Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah
حَدَّثَنَا مُفَضَّلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، ثَنَا أَبُو حُمَةَ ، ثَنَا أَبُو قُرَّةَ ، قَالَ : ذَكَرَ زَمْعَةُ ، عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ - وَذَكَرَتْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَتْ : وَلَمْ أَكُنْ رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً قَطُّ خَيْرًا فِي الدِّينِ مِنْ زَيْنَبَ ، أَتْقَى لِلهِ ، وَأَصْدَقَ حَدِيثًا ، وَأَوْصَلَ لِلرَّحِمِ ، وَأَعْظَمَ صَدَقَةً ، وَأَشَدَّ ابْتِذَالًا لِنَفْسِهَا فِي الْعَمَلِ الَّذِي يُتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ ، وَيُتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ إِلَى اللهِ I " .
The Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), while mentioning Sayyidah Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), said: "I have not seen any woman better in religion than Zaynab. She was the most God-fearing towards Allah, the most truthful in speech, the most devoted to keeping ties of kinship, the greatest in giving charity, and the one who exerted herself most in the work whose earnings were given in charity and through which nearness to Allah was sought."
