Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Muhammad bin Zaid narrates that it has been reported to us that Hazrat Abdullah bin Safwan and another man with him, both of them, presented themselves before Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O so-and-so! Have you heard the hadith of Hazrat Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her)? He replied: Yes, O Mother of the Believers. Upon this, Hazrat Abdullah bin Safwan (may Allah have mercy on him) asked her: O Mother of the Believers! What is that hadith? She (may Allah be pleased with her) said: There are nine qualities in me that are not found in anyone among the people, except those which Allah granted to Maryam bint Imran. By Allah! I do not say this to boast over my companions. Abdullah bin Safwan asked: O Mother of the Believers! What are those qualities? She (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The angel descended with my image, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married me when I was seven years old, and I was presented before him at the age of nine. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) married only me as a virgin, and in this, no one shares with me. And revelation would come to him (peace and blessings be upon him) while I and he were in the same bed. And I was the most beloved of all people to him (peace and blessings be upon him). And several verses of the Qur'an were revealed concerning me. And it was near that the Ummah would have been destroyed because of them. And I saw Jibreel (peace be upon him), and no woman besides me has seen him. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away in my house, where there was no one except me and the angel.
