In a hadith, through a question from the tabi'in to Abu Hurairah ra regarding whether there are more women in heaven than men. The Prophet Muhammad answered:

"That every man who enters heaven will have two wives." (HR. Muslim)

To find out more clearly who the most inhabitants of heaven are, here is a summary as compiled by Dream from various sources.

The Debate of Men and Women about the Largest Group in Heaven

Quoted from islam.nu.or.id, in a hadith Ibnu Sirin quoted the hadith from Abu Hurairah ra about the debate between men and women regarding the number of men and women in heaven.

Abu Hurairah became the mediator in the debate. Then he described it through the following hadith:

"From Muhammad bin Sirin, one day men and women boasted and mentioned themselves, whether men or women are more numerous in heaven. Abu Hurairah ra commented, 'Didn't the Prophet Muhammad saw say, 'The first group enters heaven shining like a full moon. The next group also shines like stars sparkling in the sky. Every man has two wives, and both of their marrow can be seen through their flesh. There are no singles in heaven'," (HR Bukhari and Muslim).
