Mukhtasar Muslim (Abridged) 1670 — Virtues of the Prophet's wife

‘Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja’far says that I heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) in Kufa, he was saying that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Among all the women in the heavens and the earth, Maryam bint ‘Imran is the most virtuous, and among all the women in the heavens and the earth, Khadijah bint Khuwaylid (may Allah be pleased with her) is the most virtuous. Abu Kurayb said that Waki’ pointed towards the heavens and the earth.
