Hadith 1573
Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I did not feel as much jealousy towards any wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as I did towards Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her), even though I never saw her. But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to mention her very often, and whenever he slaughtered a goat, he would cut it into pieces and send them to the friends of Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her). Sometimes I would say to him: It seems as if there is no woman in the world except Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her). So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: “Khadijah had such and such qualities, and my children are from her.”

Hadith 1574
Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): Gabriel (peace be upon him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) is coming to you with a dish of food or some drink. When she comes to you, convey to her greetings of peace from her Lord and from me, and give her the glad tidings of a house in Paradise made of a hollow pearl, in which there will be neither noise nor any fatigue (distress, etc.)."

Hadith 1575
Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says: Khadijah’s (may Allah be pleased with her) sister, Halah bint Khuwaylid, sought permission to enter upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remembered Khadijah’s way of seeking permission and was startled by it, and said: “O Allah! (Is it) Halah?” Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I felt jealous and said, “Do you remember an old woman from the Quraysh, whose gums had become red (after her teeth had fallen out), who died long ago, and Allah has given you someone better than her in her place?”
