Question: I came across the following on a ‘sunni’ website, can you please tell me weather this is true or not.
They were discussing the ‘Hur’s’ of jannah and who actually getshtis reward( in the hadeet narrated by Hazrat Abu Saeed and recorded by Imaam Tirmizi as ‘Hasan Ghareeb’
They were saying since the word used is ‘Ahle jannah’ wich can carry a general meaning including men, women and even jinn.
They also said and I quote the word ‘zawjah’ or spouses, which has been translated as women. We can understand this but if you look towards the rules in Arabic for the use if number seventy, which preceeds it, what follows it must be a singular noun. This leads us to say that this hadith includes women and jinn, for the above reasons, to have multiple partners in paradise.
We can also examine the Quranic chapter the heffer (2:25) which states “they have purified partners, in there, and abide therein forever.” Partners (Azwaaj), as Zaynab Ansari rightly pointed out, is not a gender specific.
So based on the above discussion my question is: is it possible for this reward of ‘Hurs’ to be general reward for both males and females of jannah?
Answer:
Answer: No, this interpretation is wrong.
1. ‘Hur’ is the plural of ‘Hawraa’ which is feminine.
2. Men have been created polygamous whereas women are monogamous.
3. No shareef women would like 72 men sleeping with her. Therefore that is for men only.
