Ayesha is jealous of other women

Hadith No: 1

Narrated `Aisha:

I did not feel jealous of any of the wives of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) as much as I did of Khadija (although) she died before he married me, for I often heard him mentioning her, and Allah had told him to give her the good tidings that she would have a palace of Qasab (i.e. pipes of precious stones and pearls in Paradise), and whenever he slaughtered a sheep, he would send her women-friends a good share of it.

Hadith No: 2

Narrated Aisha:

I used to look down upon those ladies who had given themselves to Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.a.) and I used to say, "Can a lady give herself (to a man)?" But when Allah revealed: "You (O Muhammad) can postpone (the turn of) whom you will of them (your wives), and you may receive any of them whom you will; and there is no blame on you if you invite one whose turn you have set aside (temporarily).' (33.51) I said (to the Prophet), "I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires."

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:

 

I said to the Prophet (S): It is enough for you in Safiyyah that she is such and such (the other version than Musaddad's has:) meaning that she was short-statured.

He said: I do not like that I imitate anyone even if I should get such and such.

- Muhammad ibn Umar narrated to us that Abu Ma'shar said: The Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) married Malika bint Ka'b, and she was noted for her remarkable beauty. Aisha entered upon her and said, "Are you not ashamed to marry the killer of your father?" Malika sought refuge with Allah from the Messenger of Allah, and he divorced her. Then her people came to the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) and said, "O Messenger of Allah, she is young, she has no opinion of her own, and she was deceived. Take her back." But the Messenger of Allah refused. They asked his permission for a relative of hers from Banu Udhrah to marry her, and he permitted them. So, the Udhri man married her. Her father was killed on the day of the Conquest of Mecca by Khalid ibn al-Walid in al-Khandamah. Muhammad ibn Umar said: What weakens this narration is Aisha's mention that she said to her, "Are you not ashamed?" while Aisha was not with the Messenger of Allah on that journey.

And from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): "I never felt as jealous of anyone as I did of Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her), and she died before the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) married me." And she said to him (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) when he praised Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her): "What do you remember of an old woman with red cheeks? Allah has replaced her with something better." And the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) became angry and said: "By Allah, Allah did not replace me with anything better than her. She believed in me when people denied me, and she supported me with her wealth when people deprived me, and I was blessed with children from her while I was denied children from others." It so happened that he (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) sent some meat to a woman, which she received (from him) and handed to another to give to her. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said to him: "Why is your hand not protected?" He replied: "Khadijah entrusted me with her." Aisha said: "It seems there is no woman on earth except Khadijah." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) stood up in anger and remained for as long as Allah willed, then he returned to find Umm Ruman, the mother of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: "O Messenger of Allah, what is wrong with you and Aisha? She is young, and you are the most deserving of forgiving her." He took Aisha's (may Allah be pleased with her) cheek and said: "Is the one saying, 'It seems there is no woman on the face of the earth except Khadijah,' not right? By Allah, she believed in me when your people disbelieved in me, and I was blessed with children from her while you denied me children."
