Riyad as-Salihin, 487
Ibn 'Abbas and 'Imran bin Al-Husain (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I looked into Jannah and saw that most of its dwellers are the poor; and I looked into Hell and saw that most of its inmates were women." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن ابن عباس، وعمران بن الحصين، رضي الله عنهم، عن النبي ، صلى الله عليه وسلم " قال " اطلعت في الجنة فرأيت أكثر أهلها الفقراء، واطلعت في النار فرأيت أكثر أهلها النساء" ((متفق عليه من رواية ابن عباس)). ((ورواه البخاري أيضاً من رواية عمران بن الحصين)).
