Number of Women in Jannah

Is this Hadith authentic?

I entered Jannah and saw that most of its dwellers were women.

Narrated by al-Bayhaqi in al-Ba’th wal-Nushur and Ibn ‘Asakir in Tarikh Dimashq.

Answer:

This Hadith is declared weak (da’if) by ‘Allamah Zurqani (rahimahullah), but is suitable for this purpose as it is supported by other narrations too.

(Mukhtasarul Maqasid, Hadith: 453. Also see: Al-Maqasidul Hasanah, Hadith: 483 and Kashful Khafa, Hadith: 1288)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
