What is the authenticity of the statement that every man will have two wives from among the wide-eyed houris, and are they from among the Children of Adam, or is this a matter of differing opinion?
It is established in the that a believer will have two wives from humankind and two or more from Al-Hur Al-Ein (wide-eyed houris). The minimum a believer will have in Paradise is two wives from the women of this world and seventy from Al-Hur Al-Ein. It is reported in Muslim from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, the lowest in rank among the people of Paradise... Then he will enter his house, and his two wives from Al-Hur Al-Ein will enter upon him..." And in a narration by Al-Bukhari: "For every man, there will be two wives from Al-Hur Al-Ein, the marrow of their shins will be visible from behind the bone and flesh." And it is reported in Al-Sahihain from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Each one of them will have two wives, the marrow of their shins will be visible from behind the flesh due to their beauty." Al-Nawawi and others have stated that these two wives are from humankind. The minimum a believer will have from Al-Hur Al-Ein is seventy, as narrated by Imam Ahmad from Abu Hurairah in a Marfu' : "And he will have seventy-two wives from Al-Hur Al-Ein, besides his wives from this world."
