1651. Anas narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "To go out in the cause of Allāh in the morning, or the afternoon, is better than the world and what is in it. And the space that a bow of one of you – or the space that his hand – would occupy in Paradise is better than the world and what is in it. And if a woman among the women inhabiting Paradise were to appear to the people of the earth, then she would illuminate what is between
them (the heavens and the earth), and a pleasant scent would fill up what is between them, and the scarf on her head is better than the world and what is in it.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.

Commentary
The Hadīth tells us that if a man of faith separates himself from his home and the women of the house even for a small period of time in Allāh’s cause, he will be admitted to Paradise whose smallest space shall be better than the entire world and all that is in it.
