72 virgins refers to an unverified hadith in Islam that says believers in heaven may receive 72 maiden women. However this hadith is unverified and possibly fabricated, as authentic hadith points more to 2 maiden women, not 72. This trope has been popularized in media and satire.

"72 virgins and a river of wine" is a phrase based off of an unverified hadith in Islam. It refers to some description of heaven, which *may* have "72" maiden women and a river of alcohol-free wine.
However, this hadith is unverified and very shaky. Some scholars say it might even be fabricated, as more trustable sources say 2 maiden women, not 72.

Family guy said there would be 72 virgins and a river of wine, but really there is only 2 maiden women and a river of water.
