عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ [ص:199]: أَتَتْ عَجُوزٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَنِي الْجَنَّةَ، فَقَالَ: «يَا أُمَّ فُلَانٍ، إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ لَا تَدْخُلُهَا عَجُوزٌ» قَالَ: فَوَلَّتْ تَبْكِي فَقَالَ: «أَخْبِرُوهَا أَنَّهَا لَا تَدْخُلُهَا وَهِيَ عَجُوزٌ» إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ: {إِنَّا أَنْشَأْنَاهُنَّ إِنْشَاءً فَجَعَلْنَاهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًا**
Al-Hasan narrates, "An old woman came to Nabi
صلى الله عليه وسلم and said, "Yaa Rasoolallaah, ask Allaah to enter me into Jannah." So he said, "O mother of so-and-so! No old woman will enter Jannah." He (al-Hasan) said, "So she went away, crying." Rasoolullaah
صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Inform her that she will not enter Jannah while she is an old woman (i.e. she will be made young again). Indeed, Allaah Ta`aalaa says:
"Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation, and made them virgins. Loving (their husbands only); equal in age." [Soorah al-Waaqi`ah, 56:35, 36, 37]" [Narrated in
ash-Shamaa'il al-Muhammadiyyah of Imaam at-Tirmidhee.]
