SOME OF THE AFFAIRS DURING THE NIGHT OF ASCENT

259

“On the night of the Ascent, I stood at the gate of Paradise and saw the majority of those entering it were the poor; the wealthy were held back. Then those compelled to the Fire were ordered to it and I stood at the gate of Hell and saw the majority of those who entered were women.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Osama who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
