The Superiority of Women from this world over the Hur ul Ayn of Jannah
Umme Salamah narrates that she said to Rasulullalh "Oh Rasulullah, are the women of this
world superior or the hurs?"
He replied, "The women of this world will have superiority over the hurs just as the
outer lining of a garment has superiority over the inner lining." Umme Salamah then asked, "0h Rasulullah,
What is the reason for this?"
He answered, "Because they performed salah, fasted, and worshipped [Allah].
Allah will put light on their faces and silk on their bodies. [The human women] will be fair in complexion and will wear green clothing and yellow jewellery. Their incense-burners will be made of pearls and their combs will be of gold.
They will say, 'We are the women who will stay forever and we will never die. We are the
women who will always remain in comfort and we will never undergo difficulty. We are the women who will stay and we will never leave. Listen, we are happy women and we will never become sad. Glad tidings to those men for whom we are and who are for us.' (Tabarani)
