Question

Is this Hadith authentic?

Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“A place in Jannah [as small] as a bow is better than all that on which the sun rises and sets” [i.e. better than the entire world]

 

Answer

Yes. Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah and Sayyiduna Anas ibn Malik (radiyallahu ‘anhuma).

The narration is therefore authentic.

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 2793, 2796, 6568)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
