Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ وَابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَا ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ مُرَّةَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَلَ مِنْ الرِّجَالِ كَثِيرٌ وَلَمْ يَكْمُلْ مِنْ النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا آسِيَةُ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ وَإِنَّ فَضْلَ عَائِشَةَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ كَفَضْلِ الثَّرِيدِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الطَّعَامِ.
English Translation
Waki' and Ibn Ja'far narrated to us, they said: Shu'ba narrated to us, from Amr, from Murra al-Hamdani, from Abu Musa, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Many men have reached perfection, but among women none reached perfection except Asiya, the wife of Pharaoh, and Mary, daughter of Imran. And the superiority of A'isha over other women is like the superiority of tharid over all other food."
