Question:
At the beginning of this episode, we return to the listener's message: Fawaz Muhammad Zayd from the city of Mahd al-Dhahab, at the Ibn al-Qayyim Intermediate School in al-Mahd. Our brother Fawaz raised a question for us in a previous episode, and in this episode he asks and says: I have a book called *Al-Qiyamah Ra'y al-'Ayn* (The Resurrection: The Eye's View). The author states, among other things: that when the believer enters Paradise, he will marry seventy-two women, and more than that. Is what the author said on this topic correct? And what is your opinion of the book in general?
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon whoever follows his guidance. As for what follows:
I have not looked into this book, nor do I know if what he said is correct. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) grants the people of Paradise in Paradise what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and what has not occurred to the heart of any human being, and there is no limit to what He gives them in terms of spouses . However, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explicitly stated that each of them will have two wives from the Houris, in addition to what Allah bestows upon the others as an increase in wives from the Houris, and what they receive as wives from the women of this world, so no one can count their number except Allah . They are of varying degrees in Paradise, not all on the same level; this one is given hundreds and thousands, this one is given less than that, and this one is given more than that, because their enjoyment varies according to their deeds in this world.
However, it is authentically reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:Sahih al-Bukhari 3254 , except for what is established by authentic news, what is authentically reported from the Messenger of Allah; that is upon my eyes and head. If it is established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: So-and-so is given, or a number of them are given such and such a number, or some of them are given such and such a number, then that is accepted; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) [An-Najm 53:3] إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحَى [Surah al-Najm: 3-4]. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.

لكل واحد زوجتان من الحور العينNor does he speak from [his own] inclination.
