Commentary
Tharīd, a popular dish of the Arabs consisting of very thin bread soaked in a broth of meat, is easy to prepare and easy to digest. The knowledge of 'Āishah ﷺ was easily obtainable for the nation. The fact of the matter is that the knowledge of 'Āishah ﷺ gave benefit to the Ummah, which other women could not give, even a portion of. Even men could not surpass her in memory, intelligence, sagacity, prudence, fluency, eloquence, education, and oratory, May Allāh be pleased with her. It transpires from other narrations that the best of the women of the nation is the Prophet's ﷺ first wife, Khadijah ﷺ whom the Prophet ﷺ could not forget till the last breath of his life.
