Sahih al-Bukhari 6308 (Book 81, Hadith 136)

Narrated Usama: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I stood at the gate of Paradise and saw that the majority of the people who had
entered it were poor people, while the rich were forbidden (to enter along with the poor, because they
were waiting the reckoning of their accounts), but the people of the Fire had been ordered to be driven
to the Fire. And I stood at the gate of the Fire and found that the majority of the people entering it
were women.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏
“‏ قُمْتُ عَلَى باب الْجَنَّةِ فَكَانَ عَامَّةُ مَنْ دَخَلَهَا الْمَسَاكِينَ، وَأَصْحَابُ الْجَدِّ مَحْبُوسُونَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ النَّارِ قَدْ أُمِرَ بِهِمْ إِلَى النَّارِ، وَقُمْتُ عَلَى باب النَّارِ فَإِذَا عَامَّةُ مَنْ دَخَلَهَا النِّسَاءُ ‏”‏‏.‏
