Reports on the women of the people of Paradise, the wide-eyed houris and others

Sayyiduna Sa'id bin Amir bin Hidhyam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "If one of the women of the people of Paradise were to look down upon the people of the earth, she would fill the whole face of the earth with the fragrance of musk, and she would make the light of the sun and the moon fade."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it as part of a longer narration than this, which has already passed in the chapter on voluntary charity.
Imam al-Bazzar recorded it in a greatly abridged form. The chain of both contains a narrator, al-Hasan bin Anbasah al-Warraq, whom I do not know; the remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy), though there is weakness in some of them.

Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), narrates: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, tell me about this saying of Allah Almighty: 'Hur 'in.'" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They will be fair-skinned houris with large eyes, and the eyelashes of a houri will be like the wing of a hawk." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, tell me about this saying of Allah Almighty: 'They are like rubies and coral.'" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Their purity will be like the pearl that is in the shell, which no hand has touched." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, tell me about this saying of Allah Almighty: 'In them will be women of good character and beautiful faces.'" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Their character will be excellent and their faces beautiful." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, tell me about this saying of Allah Almighty: 'As if they were sheltered eggs.'" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They will be as delicate as the thin skin that is inside the egg, lying next to the shell." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, tell me about this saying of Allah Almighty: 'Loving, and of equal age.'" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "These are the women who died in the world in old age, while they were such that there was rheum in their eyes and their hair was grey. Then, after their old age, Allah Almighty will make them virgins, charming and beloved, and all of them will be of the same age." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, are the women of this world superior, or the houris?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The women of this world are superior to the houris, just as the outer side (of a garment) is superior to the lining." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, what is the reason for that?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Because of their prayer and their fasting for Allah Almighty. Allah Almighty will clothe their faces with light and their bodies with silk; they will be white in complexion, their garments will be green and their ornaments yellow, their censers will be of pearls and their combs of gold. They will say: 'Behold, we are the everlasting ones; we will never die. We are the ones in bliss; we will never grieve (or suffer distress). We are the ones who stay; we will never depart. We are the content ones; we will never be displeased. Glad tidings to the one for whom we are, and who is for us.'" I said: "O Messenger of Allah, a woman in this world marries two, three or four times, then she dies and goes to Paradise, and those men with whom she was married (in the world) also go to Paradise." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Umm Salamah, that woman will be given the choice, and she will choose the one who treated her best (in the world). She will say: 'O my Lord, in the life of the world this man treated me in the best way, so marry me to him.'" (The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:) "O Umm Salamah, good character has carried off all the good of this world and the Hereafter."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and something similar in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; the chain of al-Mu'jam al-Kabir has already passed in the chapter on Surah al-Rahman. The chain of both contains a narrator, Sulayman bin Abi Karimah, who is da'if (weak).

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told me that Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) told him: "A man will go in to a houri, and she will welcome him with an embrace and a handshake. What will her fingertips be like! If she were to reveal part of a fingertip, its light would overpower the light of the sun and the moon; and if part of her hair were to appear, it would fill the whole space between the east and the west with fragrance. While that man is sitting with that houri on his couch, he will sense a light above him and will think: 'Perhaps Allah Almighty has looked upon His creation.' But in fact it will be another houri, who will call out to him: 'O friend of Allah, will you not give us a turn to serve you?' He will ask: 'Who are you, O lady?' She will reply: 'I am one of those houris about whom Allah Almighty has said: "And with Us there is more."' So the man will rise from the first houri and go to the second, and the second will have a beauty that the first did not have. Then, while he is reclining with the second on his couch, he will sense a light above him, and it will be another houri who will call out to him: 'O friend of Allah, will you not give us a turn to serve you?' He will reply: 'O lady, who are you?' She will reply: 'I am one of those houris about whom Allah Almighty has said: "No soul knows what delight of the eyes has been kept hidden for them, as a reward for what they used to do."' And so he will keep moving from one wife of Paradise to another."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Sa'id bin Zarbi, who is da'if (weak).

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If one of the women of the people of Paradise were to look down upon the earth, she would fill the space between the two with fragrance and fill the space between the two with light, and the crown on her head is better than this world and (everything) in it."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its chain is jayyid (good).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The marrow of the shin of a woman from among the houris will be visible through the flesh and bone, from beneath seventy garments, just as red drink is seen inside white glass.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it, and two people have dropped out of its chain.

Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Every servant who enters Paradise, when he sits, will have two houris at his head and at his feet, who will sing in the most beautiful voice that humans or jinn have ever heard; but it will not be the flutes of Satan, rather it will be the praise of Allah Almighty and the declaration of His holiness."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it, and its chain contains narrators whom I do not know.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The wives of Paradise will sing to their husbands in the most beautiful voice anyone has ever heard. Among the words they will sing are: 'We are the ones with beautiful faces, the wives of noble people, who look with the delight of the eyes.' And among the words they will sing are: 'We are the everlasting ones, who will not die; we are the ones in safety, who will not fear; we are the ones who stay, who will not depart.'"
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Saghir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "In Paradise the houris will sing and say: 'We are the beautiful houris, given as a gift to noble husbands.'"
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "A man in Paradise will sit reclining and will remain sitting for seventy years before he rises from there. Then his wife will come to him and place her hand on his shoulder, and he will see his face in her cheek, which will be clearer than a mirror. Even the least pearl upon her will be such that it would light up the whole space between the east and the west. She will greet him with peace, he will return the greeting and ask her: 'Who are you?' She will reply: 'I am from the "More".' She will be wearing seventy garments, the least of which will be like the Nu'man of Tuba. When the man raises his gaze and looks at her, he will see the marrow of her shin through those garments. On her head will be a crown, the least pearl of which could light up the whole space between the east and the west."
Imam Ahmad and Imam Abu Ya'la recorded it, and the chain of both is hasan (good).

Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty created the houris from saffron."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and the chain of both contains da'if (weak) narrators.
