Hadith on Paradise: Women in Heaven better than whole world

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Were a woman among the women of Paradise to gaze upon the earth, she would illuminate whatever is between them and fill it all with the scent of perfume. Her veil alone is better than the world and everything in it.”

  عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ اطَّلَعَتْ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ لَأَضَاءَتْ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَمَلَأَتْ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا رِيحًا وَلَنَصِيفُهَا يَعْنِي الْخِمَارَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا
