Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، وَأَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ خَيْرُ نِسَاءٍ رَكِبْنَ الإِبِلَ نِسَاءُ قُرَيْشٍ ـ وَقَالَ الآخَرُ صَالِحُ نِسَاءِ قُرَيْشٍ ـ أَحْنَاهُ عَلَى وَلَدٍ فِي صِغَرِهِ، وَأَرْعَاهُ عَلَى زَوْجٍ فِي ذَاتِ يَدِهِ ‏" ‏‏.‏ وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏.‏

Translation

ʿAli ibn ʿAbdullah narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us: Ibn Tawus narrated to us, from his father; and Abu al-Zinad narrated to us, from al-Aʿraj, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “The best women who have ridden camels are the women of Quraysh”—the other narrator said, “the righteous women of Quraysh”—“the most tender toward a child in its early years and the most careful with the property of a husband.”

It is also related from Muʿawiyah and Ibn ʿAbbas, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
