A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said, “Never did I feel jealous of any of the wives of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) except for Khadijah, although I have never seen her.”

She added, “When Allah’s Messenger slaughtered a sheep, he said: Send it to the friends of Khadijah.”

One day `A’ishah mentioned Khadijah in a way that made the Prophet Muhammad (saw) upset. He told `A’ishah, “I have been granted her love (by Allah)”.
