This unnamed elderly woman once came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Make du'a that Allah causes this old lady to enter Jannah." He looked at her and said, "O my aunt, have you not been informed that old ladies do not enter Jannah?" She began to weep. He then told her not to cry, since old ladies indeed do not enter Jannah: Allah will first make her young and beautiful, and then she will enter it. The story shows the gentle humor of the Prophet ﷺ, who never said anything untrue even in jest.
