Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Who is the best of the women according to the authentic evidence: Aisha, or Fatimah, or Khadijah?

Answer:
The apparent meaning of the texts is that the best of them is Aisha; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The superiority of ‘Aishah over other women is like the superiority of Tharid over all other foods.فضل عائشة على النِّساء كفضل الثَّريد على سائر الطعام
Sunan Ibn Majah 3281Sahih (Darussalam)
, and the women who are preferred are five: Aisha, Fatimah, Khadijah, Maryam bint Imran, and Asiya bint Muzahim, the wife of Pharaoh.
