~Exact date not recorded
An elderly woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him to make du'a that Allah would allow her to enter Jannah. The Prophet ﷺ told her, gently teasing, that old women do not enter Jannah, which made her weep, until he explained that Allah would first remake her as a young woman before she entered, and recited the verse describing the believing women of Jannah being brought forth anew.
One of several attested instances of the Prophet ﷺ's sense of humor, noted for being both light-hearted and, as the Sahaba stressed, never untrue.
Other events recorded around the same time. Their order within the year is not established; use the storyline above for the sequence.
O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Make du'a that Allah causes this old lady to enter Jannah.
O my aunt, have you not been informed that old ladies do not enter Jannah?
Do not cry, for wallahi, old ladies do not enter Jannah; but Allah will first make her into a young, fair maiden, and then she will enter Jannah.
Said after the woman began to weep at his first remark.
إِنَّا أَنشَأْنَاهُنَّ إِنشَاءً
“We bring them forth with a new beginning.”
The Prophet's ﷺ words in the post directly reflect this ayah's description of the women of Paradise being remade in a new creation.
