Does the beauty of the Houris increase seventyfold upon looking at them again after averting one's gaze from them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The houris increase in beauty and loveliness perpetually. A long states that if a believer turns away from his houri wife and then looks back at her, she increases in beauty in his eyes seventyfold compared to what she was, and she is likewise in his sight. This hadith has been authenticated by some scholars and deemed weak by others due to its unusual elements, although parts of it are found in Muslim in an abbreviated form. Other hadiths have established the descriptions of the houris without much of what was mentioned in this particular hadith.
