The answer

It was reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that the wide-eyed houris supplicate against a woman who harms her husband in this world. However, there is no explicit, authentic evidence for the superiority of the believing women of this world over the wide-eyed houris. There is no contradiction between the houris supplicating against a woman who harms her husband and the women of this world being superior to them, for the supplication of the less virtuous against the more virtuous is permissible. One should ask about what benefits in religious matters and leave aside what does not lead to action.
