Jami at-Tirmidhi 2602 (Book 39, Hadith 30) #28237
Poverty and Gender in the Afterlife

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) observed that the majority of people in Paradise were poor, and the majority of people in Hell were women.

Ibn 'Abbas narrated that the Messenger Of Allah (s.a.w) said: "I looked into Paradise and I saw that the most of its people were the poor; and I looked into the Fire and I saw that most of its people were women".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ الْعُطَارِدِيِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ اطَّلَعْتُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَرَأَيْتُ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِهَا الْفُقَرَاءَ وَاطَّلَعْتُ فِي النَّارِ فَرَأَيْتُ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِهَا النِّسَاءَ
