حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ كَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَال
َ خَيْرُ نِسَاءٍ رَكِبْنَ الْإِبِلَ صُلَّحُ نِسَاءِ قُرَيْشٍ أَحْنَاهُ عَلَى وَلَدٍ فِي صِغَرِهِ وَأَرْعَاهُ لِزَوْجٍ فِي ذَاتِ يَدِهِ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَلَمْ تَرْكَبْ مَرْيَمُ بَعِيرًا قَطُّ

It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via 'Abd al-Razzaq, from Ma'mar, from al-Zuhri, from Ibn al-Musayyab — that Abu Hurayra used to narrate that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'The best women who ride camels are the righteous women of Quraysh — the most tender toward a child in his young age, and the most attentive toward a husband regarding what he possesses.' Abu Hurayra added: 'And Maryam never rode a camel.'
