Hadith of the Day: Dwellers Of Hell

Today’s Hadith is about: The Majority of Inhabitants of Jahannam


Hadith on the reasons why women were sent into hellfire

Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers were women who were ungrateful.” It was asked, “Do they disbelieve in Allah?” (or are they ungrateful to Allah?) He replied, “They are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful for the favors and the good (charitable deeds) done to them. If you have always been good (benevolent) to one of them and then she sees something in you (not of her liking), she will say, ‘I have never received any good from you.”

[Bukhari]


What do we learn from this Hadith?

Women should always be respectful to their husbands and grateful. If their husbands are pleased with them, then Allah swt will also be pleased. It is an easy means for a woman to enter Jannah through their husband. The prophet (pbuh) taught us this hadith so we can avoid being those people/dwellers of the hellfire.

May Allah give us the ability to act upon these teachings. Ameen
