Question

What is the status of the narration regarding a market in Jannah which will increase the beauty of the inhabitants of Jannah every week?

Answer

Imam Muslim (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration in his Sahih. The narration is therefore authentic.

Sayyiduna Anas ibn Malik (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“In Jannah there is a market which the inhabitants of Jannah will visit every week. A northerly wind will blow on their faces and clothes and their beauty will increase. They will then return to their families in this condition of extra beauty. Their family would say to them, ‘By Allah, you have increased in beauty after leaving us.’ They in return would say, ‘By Allah, you have also increased in beauty”

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 2833)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
