The answer

The noble Hadith, "Whoever suppresses his rage, while he is able to unleash it, Allah will call him on the Day of Resurrection before all creatures and give him the choice of any houri he wishes," means that whoever restrains his anger, despite being able to act upon it, will receive a great reward, which is entering Paradise and being given a choice among the houris. This reward is not exclusive to men, for women are the counterparts of men in rewards, except for what is specific to men, such as the houris. However, a woman will attain the core reward, which is entering Paradise, and the details of the choice are part of the unseen, known only through revelation.
