Ibn Fudayl narrated from ʿImārah, from Abū Zurʿah, who heard Abū Hurayrah say: “Gabriel came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, ‘This is Khadijah approaching you with a vessel containing relish, food, or drink. When she arrives, convey to her the greetings of peace from her Lord and from me, and give her the glad tidings of a house in Paradise built of hollow pearls, in which there is neither clamor nor fatigue.’” Agreed upon.

ʿAbd Allāh ibn Jaʿfar said: I heard ʿAlī (may Allah be pleased with him) say: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ declare, “The best woman of her time is Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, and the best woman of her time is Maryam bint ʿImrān.” Recorded by Muslim.
