Answer
✅Answer: There are many deeds that, according to the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), lead to marriage to the Houris of Paradise on the Day of Resurrection. Please pay attention to a few of the actions that lead to marriage to the Houris in two parts:
1 عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مَهْرِ السُّنَّةِ کَیْفَ صَارَ خَمْسَمِائَةٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَکَ وَ تَعَالَی أَوْجَبَ عَلَی نَفْسِهِ أَلَّا یُکَبِّرَهُ مُؤْمِنٌ مِائَةَ تَکْبِیرَةٍ وَ یُسَبِّحَهُ مِائَةَ تَسْبِیحَةٍ وَ یُحَمِّدَهُ مِائَةَ تَحْمِیدَةٍ وَ یُهَلِّلَهُ مِائَةَ تَهْلِیلَةٍ وَ یُصَلِّیَ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ ثُمَّ یَقُولَ اللَّهُمَّ زَوِّجْنِی مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِینِ إِلَّا زَوَّجَهُ اللَّهُ حَوْرَاءَ عَیْنٍ وَ جَعَلَ ذَلِکَ مَهْرَهَا ثُمَّ أَوْحَی اللَّهُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ إِلَی نَبِیِّهِ أَنْ سُنَّ مُهُورَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ خَمْسَمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَفَعَلَ ذَلِکَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ أَیُّمَا مُؤْمِنٍ خَطَبَ إِلَی أَخِیهِ حُرْمَتَهُ فَقَالَ خَمْسُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَلَمْ یُزَوِّجْهُ فَقَدْ عَقَّهُ وَ اسْتَحَقَّ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَلَّا یُزَوِّجَهُ حَوْرَاءَ.
📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 5, p. 376
Husayn ibn Khalid said: I asked Imam Abu al-Hasan (peace be upon him) about the dowry of the Sunnah and why it became 500 dirhams. The Imam said: Indeed, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, has made it obligatory upon Himself that no believer says 'Allahu Akbar' a hundred times, and 'Subhan Allah' a hundred times, and 'Alhamdulillah' a hundred times, and 'La ilaha illa Allah' a hundred times, and then sends a hundred blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and then says:
اللَّهُمَّ زَوِّجْنِی مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِینِ
Except that He will marry him to a Houri and make these supplications her dowry!
Then Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, revealed to His Prophet that the dowry of the believing women should be set at 500 dirhams as a Sunnah, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) did this, and every believer who proposes to the daughter of his religious brother and declares her dowry as 500 dirhams and does not marry her, he has certainly been disobedient to him and has deserved from Allah that He does not marry him to a Houri!
2 عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: مَنْ کَانَ یُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَ یَقْرَأُ کِتَابَهُ فَلَا یَدَعُ قِرَاءَةَ سُورَةِ إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحاً إِلَی قَوْمِهِ- فَأَیُّ عَبْدٍ قَرَأَهَا مُحْتَسِباً صَابِراً فِی فَرِیضَةٍ أَوْ نَافِلَةٍ أَسْکَنَهُ اللَّهُ مَسَاکِنَ الْأَبْرَارِ وَ أَعْطَاهُ ثَلَاثَ جِنَانٍ مَعَ جَنَّتِهِ کَرَامَةً مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ زَوَّجَهُ مِائَتَیْ حَوْرَاءَ وَ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافِ ثَیِّبٍ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ.
📚 Thawab al-A'mal, p. 147
Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: Whoever believes in Allah and recites His book, let him not abandon the recitation of Surah Nuh, for any servant who recites this Surah to seek divine reward and with patience in an obligatory or supererogatory prayer, Allah will house him in the abodes of the righteous and, as a generosity from Allah, He will grant him three Paradises along with his own Paradise, and will marry him to 200 Houris and four thousand Thayyib women!
If Allah wills
3 عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ جُبَیْرٍ الْعَرْزَمِیِّ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ هَلْ أَتَی عَلَی الْإِنْسَانِ فِی کُلِّ غَدَاةِ خَمِیسٍ- زَوَّجَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِینِ ثَمَانَ مِائَةِ عَذْرَاءَ وَ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافِ ثَیِّبٍ وَ حَوْرَاءَ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِینِ وَ کَانَ مَعَ مُحَمَّدٍ
📚 Thawab al-A'mal, p. 148
Imam Baqir (peace be upon him) said: Whoever recites Surah al-Insan every Thursday morning, Allah will marry him to 800 virgin Houris and four thousand Thayyib women and a Houri from the Houris, and he will be with Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family)!
4 عَنْ دَاوُدَ الْعِجْلِیِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ یَقُولُ ثَلَاثٌ أُعْطِینَ سَمْعَ الْخَلَائِقِ الْجَنَّةُ وَ النَّارُ- وَ الْحُورُ الْعِینُ فَإِذَا صَلَّی الْعَبْدُ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَعْتِقْنِی مِنَ النَّارِ وَ أَدْخِلْنِی الْجَنَّةَ- وَ زَوِّجْنِی مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِینِ- قَالَتِ النَّارُ یَا رَبِّ إِنَّ عَبْدَکَ قَدْ سَأَلَکَ أَنْ تُعْتِقَهُ مِنِّی فَأَعْتِقْهُ وَ قَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ یَا رَبِّ إِنَّ عَبْدَکَ قَدْ سَأَلَکَ إِیَّایَ فَأَسْکِنْهُ وَ قَالَتِ الْحُورُ الْعِینُ یَا رَبِّ إِنَّ عَبْدَکَ قَدْ خَطَبَنَا إِلَیْکَ فَزَوِّجْهُ مِنَّا فَإِنْ هُوَ انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ وَ لَمْ یَسْأَلِ اللَّهَ شَیْئاً مِنْ هَذَا قُلْنَ الْحُورُ الْعِینُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْعَبْدَ فِینَا لَزَاهِدٌ وَ قَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْعَبْدَ فِیَّ لَزَاهِدٌ وَ قَالَتِ النَّارُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْعَبْدَ بِی لَجَاهِلٌ.
📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 3, p. 344
Dawud al-'Ijli said: I heard Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) say: Three things have been given hearing to the creatures: Paradise, Hellfire, and the Houris!
So when the servant prays and says after the prayer:
اللَّهُمَّ أَعْتِقْنِی مِنَ النَّارِ وَ أَدْخِلْنِی الْجَنَّةَ وَ زَوِّجْنِی مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِینِ
Meaning: O Allah! Free me from the Fire and admit me into Paradise and marry me to the Houris!
Then Hellfire says: O Lord! Indeed, your servant asked you to free him from me, so free him!
And Paradise says: O Lord! Indeed, your servant asked you for me, so make him dwell in me!
And the Houris say: O Lord! Indeed, your servant proposed to us to you, so marry him to us!
So if the servant turns away from the prayer and does not ask Allah for any of these things, the Houris say: This servant is without desire for us, and Paradise says: This servant is without desire for me, and Hellfire says: This servant is ignorant of me!
5 عَنْ أَبِی بصیر عَنْ أَبِی عَبْداللَّهِ قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ سُوَرَ الطَّوَاسِینِ الثَّلَاثَ فِی لَیْلَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ کَانَ مِنْ أَوْلِیَاءِ اللَّهِ و فِی جِوَارِ اللَّهِ وَ کَنَفِهِ وَ لَمْ یُصِبْهُ فِی الدُّنْیَا بُؤْسٌ أَبَداً وَ أُعْطِیَ فِی الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّی یَرْضَی وَ فَوْقَ رِضَاهُ و زَوَّجَهُ اللَّهُ مِائَةَ زَوْجَةٍ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِین
📚 Thawab al-A'mal, p. 136
Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: Whoever recites the three 'Tawasins' (i.e., Surah al-Shu'ara, al-Naml, and al-Qasas) on a Friday night, he is from the friends of Allah and in the vicinity and protection of Allah, and he will never be poor or destitute in this world, and in the Hereafter, he will be given from Paradise as much as he is pleased and more than his contentment, and Allah will marry him to one hundred Houris!
6 قال أَبُوعَبْداللَّهِ ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ کُنَّ فِیهِ زَوَّجَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِینِ کَیْفَ شَاءَ کَظْمُ الْغَیْظِ و الصَّبْرُ عَلَی السُّیُوفِ لِلَّهِ و رَجُلٌ أَشْرَفَ عَلَی مَالٍ حَرَامٍ فَتَرَکَهُ لِلَّه
📚 Mahasin, p. 6, hadith 15
Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: There are three things, whoever has them, Allah will marry him to the Houris as he wishes: suppressing anger, patience on the swords (in Jihad) for the sake of Allah, and a man who has a view of forbidden wealth and abandons it for the sake of Allah!
7 قال الصَّادِقُ مَنْ نَظَرَ إِلَی امْرَأَةٍ فَرَفَعَ بَصَرَهُ إِلَی السَّمَاءِ أَوْ غَمَّضَ بَصَرَهُ لَمْ یَرْتَدَّ إِلَیْهِ بَصَرُهُ حَتَّی یُزَوِّجَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِین
📚 Faqih, Vol. 3, p. 473
Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: Whoever's gaze falls on a woman, then he raises his eyes to the sky or lowers his eyes, his eyes will not meet until Allah marries him to a Houri!
✅ These are a few of the actions that lead to marriage to the Houris in Paradise, but better than the Houris is what Imam Baqir (peace be upon him) said in a hadith:
فَعَلِیٌّ وَ اللَّهِ الَّذِی یُزَوِّجُ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ فِی الْجَنَّةِ وَ مَا ذَاکَ إِلَی أَحَدٍ غَیْرِهِ...
📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 8, p. 159
Meaning: By Allah, the one who marries the people of Paradise in Paradise is Imam Ali (peace be upon him) and this is not in the hands of anyone but him!
✅ The recitation of the marriage sermon of the people of Paradise by Imam Ali (peace be upon him) increases the desire to perform the above-mentioned deeds!
✅ Pray more for the hastening of the reappearance:

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
اللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ و آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
و عَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُمْ و العَنْ أعْدَاءَهم
