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.
