Jibril (‘alayhis salam) told Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi ‘alayhi wa sallam) regarding Hafsah (radiyallahu ‘anha):
“She fasts very often and is often offering Salah, she will be your wife in Jannah too.”
Is this Hadith authentic?
Answer:
Yes, it is.
The Hadith is recorded in Mustadrak Hakim, Musnad Bazzar, Al Mu’jamul Kabir and other Hadith sources with a few chains.
(Mustadrak Hakim, vol. 4 pg. 15, Musnad Bazzar; Al Bahruz Zakkhar, Hadith: 1401, Al Mu’jamul Kabir, Hadith: 934, vol. 18)
‘Allamah Dhahabi (rahimahullah) has declared one chain eligible (salih). ‘Allamah Haythami (rahimahullah) has declared the narrators of one chain of Tabarani reliable.
(Siyaru A’alamin Nubala, vol. 2 pg. 229, Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 9 pg. 245. Also see: vol. 9 pg. 244, Fathul Bari, Hadith: 5191, vol. 9 pg. 286 and Faydul Qadir, Hadith: 6079)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
