9. How Bibi Khathija (RA) was specially honoured by Allahuthala in this world?

Answer: Allahuthala sent salam to her through Jibreel (AS).

Abu Huraira (RA) reported that Jibreel (AS) came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and said: "O Allah's Messenger! ﷺ Khadija is coming to you with a vessel of seasoned food or drink. When she comes to you, offer her greetings from her Lord, the Exalted and Glorious, and on my behalf and give her glad tidings of a palace of jewels in Paradise wherein there is no noise and no toil."  (Sahih Muslim, 2432).

Prophet ﷺ conveyed this message to Khadija (RA). Her deep understanding and intelligence about Allahuthala can be seen from her reply. She replied: “Allah is Peace! to Jibreel (AS) peace, and to you O Prophet of Allah ﷺ peace, with the mercy and blessings of Allah.”

If anybody with average faith will be first shocked to listen this, and then slowly coming to sense and reply simply as Alaikum Salam. Khadija's (RA) deep understanding and strong faith on Allah is uncomparable. She replied as "Allah is Himself salam". She cannot reply the salam as usual as Alaikum Salam to Allah as He is the one who give peace and protection to us.  She replied salam to Jibreel (AS) in third person as she couldn’t see him and directly. In addition she answered salam fully to her beloved Prophet husband!
