[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By Him in whose hand is my soul, if a woman from the people of Paradise were to look down upon the people of the earth, she would illuminate what is between them and fill it with her fragrance, and her headscarf would be better than the whole world and what is in it."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِيبِيَدِهِ لَوْ اطَّلَعَتْ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ لَأَضَاءَتْ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَمَلَأَتْ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا بِرِيحِهَا وَلَنَصِيفُهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "To go out in the cause of Allah 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 the ( 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."
