The number of hurs (seventy or more) in Jannat for a shahid or a jannati is fixed by which hadith and in which book?
Answer:
The mention of seventy or more hurs by Rasulullah (sallallahu’alaihi wasallam) for the shahid is reported by many Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum).
The following are two authentic narrations:
1. Sayyiduna Miqdad ibn Ma’dikarib (radiyallahu’anhu) reported that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alaihi wasallam) said:
“The shahid receives six favors from Allah Ta’ala… (the fifth being) he will be granted seventy two wives from the Hurul ‘In.”
(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 1663)
Imam Tirmidhi has classified this Hadith as sahih-authentic.
2. Sayyiduna ‘Ubadah ibn Samit (radiyallahu’anhu) has reported a similar narration (Hadith) recorded by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad (Hadith 17117), Imam al-Bazzar in his Musnad and Imam Tabrani in Al-Mu’jam al-Kabir. (Majma’uz-Zawa’id, vol.5 pg.293).
Hafiz al-Haythami (rahimahullah) has mentioned that the narrators of Musnad Ahmad and al-Tabrani are all reliable. (ibid)
Hafiz al-Mundhiri (rahimahullah) has classified the chain of narrators of Musnad Ahmad as hasan-sound. (At-Targhib, vol.2 pg.320).
Also refer to Fathul Bari, Hadith: 3246 & Al-Budurus Safirah of Allamah Suyuti (rahimahullah).
See here for an acceptable narration that promises seventy Hurs for even the ordinary inhabitants of Jannah.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
