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: [Ali 'Imran 3:131], and He said: [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, [Al-A'raf 7:66], [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 , and they are , and they are the cause of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Mishkat al-Masabih 3085. Therefore, they are the people of the Fire.
