Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. I wanted to ask about comparing believing women in this world with the حور العين (houris of Paradise), and I found the answer in the fatwas, but I did not find the تخريج (source/narration details) of the mentioned hadith. So, who narrated this hadith?
The discussion revolves around a dialogue between Umm Salamah and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, concerning the characteristics of the Houris (maidens of Paradise). The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, described the Houris as fair-skinned, with large eyes, and their purity is like that of hidden pearls. He also mentioned that they are of excellent character and beautiful countenances. He stated that the women of this world are superior to the Houris due to their worship, prayers, and fasting. He clarified that in Paradise, a woman will be given a choice among her husbands, and she will choose the one with the best character. However, this is weak, as mentioned by scholars, and it has been declared weak by Al-Bukhari and other Muhaddithun (hadith scholars).
