Book Name:Seerat e Bibi Khadija tul Kubra

صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would say, ‘Take this to so-and-so, because she was the friend of Sayyidatuna Khadijah (رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا), take this to so-and-so’s house, for she used to show love to Sayyidatuna Khadijah (رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا).’ (Al-Adab Al-Mufrad, p. 68, Hadith 232)

On many occasions, the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would sacrifice a goat, cut it into pieces and then send it to the friends of Sayyidatuna Khadijah رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا. Sayyidatuna ‘Aaishah Siddiqah رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا states: I would sometimes say to the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, ‘It seems as if there is no woman in the world besides Sayyidatuna Khadijah رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا, to which he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would say, ‘She was like this, she was like this, and I had offspring through her.’ (Bukhari, vol. 2, p. 565, Hadith 3818)

Hakeem-ul-Ummat Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states the following while explaining this Hadith: (The meaning of Sayyidatuna ‘Aaishah’s statement is:) When I would hear her abundant praise on the tongue of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, out of Rashk (positive envy) I would say, ‘O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! You praise her so much as though you have not received a wife besides her, or like there is no woman similar to her in the world.’

Whilst explaining the meaning of the Beloved Prophet’s صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم words, ‘She was like this, she was like this’, he رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states: ‘This is an indication to the many qualities of Sayyidatuna Khadijah رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا, i.e. she would fast often, she would offer Tahajjud, she served me greatly, she was my companion when I was alone, she would comfort me, she would aid me during my seclusions in the Cave of Hira (i.e. when worshipping in solitude for 40 days), and all of my children are from her.’ (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 8, p. 497, summarised)
