Um Ar-Rubai'bint Al-Bara', the mother of Hartha bin Suraqa came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Allah's Prophet! Will you tell me about Hartha?" Hartha has been killed (i.e. martyred) on the day of Badr with an arrow thrown by an unidentified person. She added, "If he is in Paradise, I will be patient; otherwise, I will weep bitterly for him." He said, "O mother of Hartha! There are Gardens in Paradise and your son got the Firdausal-ala (i.e. the best place in Paradise).

أَنَّ أُمَّ الرُّبَيِّعِ بِنْتَ الْبَرَاءِ وَهْىَ أُمُّ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ سُرَاقَةَ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَلاَ تُحَدِّثُنِي عَنْ حَارِثَةَ وَكَانَ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ أَصَابَهُ سَهْمٌ غَرْبٌ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ صَبَرْتُ وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ اجْتَهَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْبُكَاءِ قَالَ يَا أُمَّ حَارِثَةَ إِنَّهَا جِنَانٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّ ابْنَكِ أَصَابَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ الأَعْلَى

that Ar-Rubai' bint An-Nadr came to the Prophet ﷺ - and her son Harithah bin Suraqah had been killed on the Day of Badr, having been struck by an arrow, shot by an unknown person - so she came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "Inform me about Harithah. If he has reached goodness, I shall be forbearing and patient. If he has not reached goodness, I will struggle supplicating for him." So Allah's Prophet ﷺ said: "O Umm Harithah! There are gardens in Paradise, and verily your son Harithah has reached the highest part of Paradise, and Al-Firdaws is the highest part of Paradise, its most center and best."

أَنَّ الرُّبَيِّعَ بِنْتَ النَّضْرِ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَكَانَ ابْنُهَا حَارِثَةُ بْنُ سُرَاقَةَ أُصِيبَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ أَصَابَهُ سَهْمٌ غَرَبٌ فَأَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ حَارِثَةَ لَئِنْ كَانَ أَصَابَ خَيْرًا احْتَسَبْتُ وَصَبَرْتُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُصِبِ الْخَيْرَ اجْتَهَدْتُ فِي الدُّعَاءِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا أُمَّ حَارِثَةَ إِنَّهَا جِنَانٌ فِي جَنَّةٍ وَإِنَّ ابْنَكِ أَصَابَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ الأَعْلَى وَالْفِرْدَوْسُ رَبْوَةُ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَوْسَطُهَا وَأَفْضَلُهَا قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَنَسٍ

[AI] Indeed, Umm al-Rubayi' came to the Prophet ﷺ while she was the mother of Haritha bin Suraaqah. She said, "O Prophet of Allah, will you not tell me about Haritha?" He replied, "If he is in Paradise, then I am patient. If he is not, then I exert myself in weeping for him." She said, "O mother of Haritha, it is the gardens in Paradise, and your son has reached the highest level of Paradise, Al-Firdaus." Qatadah said, "And Al-Firdaus is the elevated and most excellent part of Paradise."

إِنَّ أُمَّ الرُّبَيِّعِ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهِيَ أُمُّ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ سُرَاقَةَ فَقَالَتْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ أَلَا تُحَدِّثُنِي عَنْ حَارِثَةَ؟ وَكَانَ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ أَصَابَهُ سَهْمٌ غَرْبٌ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِيالْجَنَّةِ صَبَرْتُ وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ اَجْتَهَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْبُكَاءَ فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّ حَارِثَةَ إِنَّهَا جِنَانٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّ ابْنَكِ أَصَابَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ قَتَادَةُ وَالْفِرْدَوْسُ رَبْوَةُ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَوْسَطُهَا وَأَفْضَلُهَا

Um (the mother of) Haritha came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ after Haritha had been martyred on the Day (of the battle) of Badr by an arrow thrown by an unknown person. She said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! You know the position of Haritha in my heart (i.e. how dear to me he was), so if he is in Paradise, I will not weep for him, or otherwise, you will see what I will do." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Are you mad? Is there only one Paradise? There are many Paradises, and he is in the highest Paradise of Firdaus." The Prophet added, "A forenoon journey or an after noon journey in Allah's Cause is better than the whole world and whatever is in it; and a place equal to an arrow bow of anyone of you, or a place equal to a foot in Paradise is better than the whole world and whatever is in it; and if one of the women of Paradise looked at the earth, she would fill the whole space between them (the earth and the heaven) with light, and would fill whatever is in between them, with perfume, and the veil of her face is better than the whole world and whatever is in it." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6567)

أَنَّ أُمَّ حَارِثَةَ أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ هَلَكَ حَارِثَةُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ أَصَابَهُ سَهْمٌ غَرْبٌ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَوْقِعَ حَارِثَةَ مِنْ قَلْبِي فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لَمْ أَبْكِ عَلَيْهِ وَإِلَّا فَسَوْفَ تَرَى مَا أَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ لَهَا هَبِلْتِ؟ أَوَجَنَّةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ هِيَ؟ إِنَّهَا جِنَانٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَإِنَّهُ فِي الْفِرْدَوْسِ الْأَعْلَى

[AI] Haritha was injured on the day of Badr, so his mother said, "O Prophet of Allah, if my son enters Paradise, then I will not cry for him, otherwise I will cry a lot for him." He said, "O mother of Haritha, there are many gardens in Paradise, and Haritha has reached the highest level of Paradise, Al-Firdaus."

كَانَ حَارِثَةُ أُصِيبَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَتْأُمُّ حَارِثَةَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ إِنْ كَانَ ابْنِي أَصَابَ الْجَنَّةَ وَإِلَّا أَجْهَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْبُكَاءَ قَالَ يَا أُمَّ حَارِثَةَ إِنَّهَا جِنَانٌ كَثِيرَةٌ فِي جَنَّةٍ وَإِنَّ حَارِثَةَ أَصَابَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ الْأَعْلَى

(Using translation from Bukhārī 6567)

أَنَّ أُمَّ حَارِثَةَ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَقَدْ هَلَكَ حَارِثَةُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ أَصَابَهُ سَهْمُ غَرْبٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَوْقِعَ حَارِثَةَ مِنْ قَلْبِي فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لَمْ أَبْكِ عَلَيْهِ وَإِلَّا سَوْفَ تَرَى مَا أَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ لَهَا ﷺ «أَجَنَّةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ هِيَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ جِنَانٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَإِنَّهُ فِي الْفِرْدَوْسِ الْأَعْلَى»

[AI] "Indeed, Rubayyah bintu al-Nadhir came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, my son Harithah was martyred on the Day of Badr. If he is in Paradise, I will have patience and seek reward. If not, I will weep and grieve.' The Prophet ﷺ replied, 'O mother of Harithah, it is gardens within Paradise, and he has surely attained the highest part of Firdaus.'"

أَنَّ الرُّبَيِّعَ بِنْتَ النَّضْرِ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ ابْنِي حَارِثَةَ أُصِيبَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ صَبَرْتُ وَاحْتَسَبْتُ وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ اجْتَهَدْتُ فِي الْبُكَاءِ فَقَالَ «يَا أُمَّ حَارِثَةَ إِنَّهَا جِنَانٌ فِي جَنَّةٍ وَإِنَّهُ أَصَابَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ الْأَعْلَى»

[AI] That Umm Haritha came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Haritha had died on the day of Badr and was struck by an arrow. She said, "O Messenger of Allah, you knew the status of Haritha in my heart, so if he is in Paradise, I will not cry over him, otherwise you will see what I will do." He said to her, "Are there not just one or multiple gardens? Indeed, there are many gardens and surely he is in the highest Firdaws."

أَنَّ أُمَّ حَارِثَةَ أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ هَلَكَ حَارِثَةُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَأَصَابَهُ سَهْمُ غَرْبٍ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَوْقِعَ حَارِثَةَ مِنْ قَلْبِي فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لَمْ أَبْكِ عَلَيْهِ وَإِلَّا فَسَوْفَ تَرَى مَا أَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ لَهَا «هُبِلْتِ أوَ جَنَّةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ؟ هِيَ إِنَّهَا لَجِنَانٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَإِنَّهُ لَفِي الْفِرْدَوْسِ الْأَعْلَى»

Um Ar-Rubai'bint Al-Bara', the mother of Hartha bin Suraqa came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Allah's Prophet! Will you tell me about Hartha?" Hartha has been killed (i.e. martyred) on the day of Badr with an arrow thrown by an unidentified person.
