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.
