The answer

The (chain of narration) of the : "The people of Paradise will enter Paradise hairless, beardless, with kohl-lined eyes, in the form of Adam, at the age of thirty-three," is problematic not only due to the 'an'anah (narration with the phrase "on the authority of"), but also because of the disagreement among narrators regarding Qatadah and the presence of weak narrators. Qatadah was a mudallis (one who narrates in a way that conceals a weakness in the chain) and used 'an'anah. Shahr ibn Hawshab, while truthful, frequently narrated mursal (missing the Companion in the chain) hadith and made mistakes, and he did not live to meet Mu'adh.

Nevertheless, a group of scholars, including Al-Tirmidhi, Al-Haythami, the verifiers of Musnad Ahmad, and Al-Albani, have judged this hadith to be (good). It was deemed hasan li-ghayrihi (good due to external corroboration) and not hasan li-dhatihi (good in itself). This hadith has several corroborating narrations that authenticate it, including ones from Abu Hurayrah and Anas.
