I was never as jealous of any woman as I was of Khadijah, even though she had died three years before he married me. This was because of how often I heard him mention her, and because his Lord had commanded him to give her the glad tidings of a house of pearls in Paradise. Whenever he slaughtered a sheep, he would send portions of it as gifts to her close friends.
