How can the narration which states that a man in Paradise will marry two of the Houris be reconciled with the Hadith which indicates that whoever suppresses his anger will be given the choice of whichever of the Houris he desires?
It is stated in the authentic that the first group to enter Paradise will be like the full moon on the night of its fullness, and they will have two wives from the Houris, whose bone marrow can be seen from behind the bones and flesh. There is no contradiction between this hadith and the hadith, "Whoever suppresses his anger while he is able to unleash it, Allah will call him on the Day of Resurrection before all creatures and let him choose whichever Houris he wishes." This is because the first hadith is general for all the inhabitants of Paradise, while the second hadith is specific to those who suppress their anger. Thus, such a person will be given the choice of Houris in addition to what every inhabitant of Paradise will receive.
