I’ve heard:

Hawwah
Asiya
Mariyam

Someone just told me Hawwah is NOT on the list and Khadija and Fatima are…i’m curious what Hadith back up is for this?

There are ahadith for the 4 mentioned and they are Maryam, Asiya, Khadija and Fatima (if I'm not wrong). From these 4, Maryam is mentioned in Surah 3 or Surah 4 (not sure which one) where Allah says to Maryam 'I have chosen you, purified you and chose you above the women of all nations'........I could be wrong but from this I am concluding the Maryam would top the list from the 4 mentioned above since Allah mentions this exclusivly in the Quran.

I never heard Hawaa making to that list but as HHL said that there is Hadith about those 4 sacred women.

Maryam
Khadiyjah
Fatima
Aasiyah

**Ibne Abbas narrates that he heard Rasulullah (s) "There shall be four Leaders of Women in Paradise, Maryum daughter of Imran, Fatima daughter of Muhammad, Khadija daughter of Khuwaylid and Asiya wife of Pharoah"

Rasulullah had also said: "The most excellent of the women of all worlds whom Allah chose over all women are: Asiya the wife of Pharaoh, Mary the daughter of Imran, Khadija the daughter of Khuwaylid, and Fatimah the daughter of Muhammad"**

Hawah is not there in the list.
