How authentic is the Hadith: "Any woman who feels jealousy and conceals her jealousy, her only reward is Paradise"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The hadith: "Any woman who feels jealousy and is patient will enter Paradise" has no basis. A similar hadith was reported: "Indeed, Allah, the Almighty and All-Majestic, decreed jealousy upon women and jihad upon men. So, whoever among them is patient out of faith and seeking reward, will have a reward similar to that of martyrs." However, this hadith is weak and denounced (munkar). Despite the weakness of these hadiths, a woman who suppresses her jealousy and controls it out of fear of Allah, it is hoped that she will be included in Allah's promise in His saying: "But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] desire, then indeed, Paradise will be his refuge."
