“She was a woman who was white and beautiful, وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةً بَيْضَاءَ جَمِيْلَةً،

And therefore she was called “Al-Ḥumayrā” (The Little Reddish One). وَمِنْ ثَمَّ يُقَالُ لَهَا: الحُمَيْرَاءُ،

The Prophet ﷺ did not marry any other virgin besides her, وَلَمْ يَتَزَوَّجِ النَّبِيُّ -صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- بِكْراً غَيْرَهَا،

Nor did he love any other woman as he loved her. وَلاَ أَحَبَّ امْرَأَةً حُبَّهَا،

I do not know there to be have been any woman in the nation of Muḥammad ﷺ, وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ فِي أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ -صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ-

Indeed any woman ever who was more knowledgeable than her.” بَلْ وَلاَ فِي النِّسَاءِ مُطْلَقاً امْرَأَةً أَعْلَمَ مِنْهَا.
