Benefits of the Hadith: (I looked into Paradise and saw that most of its people are the poor, and I looked into the Fire and saw that most of its people are women).

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Among the benefits of this hadith is that Paradise and the Fire currently exist, and this is indeed the case, as indicated by the Qur'an in the words of Allah the Exalted:
And fear the Fire, which has been prepared for the disbelievers. واتقوا النار التي أعدت للكافرين
[Ali 'Imran 3:131]
, and He said:
And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous وسارعوا إلى مغفرة من ربكم وجنة عرضها السماوات والأرض أعدت للمتقين
[Ali 'Imran 3:133]
. And regarding his statement, "I saw that most of its people are the poor," this is because the poor are more submissive to the truth than the rich. This is not because of their poverty, for a grateful rich person may be better than a patient poor person. However, it is because the poor are more submissive to the truth than the rich, so they are more numerous in this regard. For this reason, you will find in the Qur'an that those who lie to the messengers are the elite,
Said the eminent ones who disbelieved among his people قال الملأ الذين كفروا من قومه
[Al-A'raf 7:66]
,
Said the eminent ones who were arrogant among his people to those who were oppressedوقال الملأ الذين استكبروا من قومه للذين استضعفوا
[Al-A'raf 7:75]
, and the like. So this is the reason why most of the people of Paradise are the poor. As for the fact that most of the people of the Fire are women, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) explained that they
They curse much and deny the favor of their husbands يكثرن اللعن ، ويكفرن العشير
, and they are
deficient in intellect ناقصات عقل
, and they are the cause of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
I have not left behind me a trial more injurious to men than women. ما تركت بعدي فتنة أضرَّ على الرجال من النساء
Mishkat al-Masabih 3085
. Therefore, they are the people of the Fire.
