Is this Hadith authentic?
Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Definitely, a person in Jannah will marry 500 Hurs, 4000 virgins and 8000 previously married women, He will embrace each one for as long as he lived in this world”
Answer:
Imam Bayhaqi (rahimahullah) has recorded this as a Hadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) with a weak chain. Hafiz Ibn Hajar Al ‘Asqalani (rahimahullah) states, ‘The chain consists of an unnamed narrator.’
(Al Ba’th Wan Nushur, Hadith: 951, Fathul Bari, Hadith: 3240-3246, vol. 6 pg. 325)
Imam Abush Shaykh Al Asbahani has recorded this narration as the statement of ‘Abdur Rahman ibn Sabit (rahimahullah), a Tabi’i.
(Kitabul ‘Azamah, Hadith: 591)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
