[Machine] 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."

Haritha was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Badr while he was young. His mother came to the Prophet ﷺ saying, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! You know the relation of Haritha to me (how fond of him I was); so, if he is in Paradise, I will remain patient and wish for Allah's reward, but if he is not there, then you will see what I will do." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "May Allah be merciful upon you! Have you gone mad? (Do you think) it is one Paradise? There are many Paradises and he is in the (most superior) Paradise of Al-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."

And indeed Harithah is in the best of them, or he said, in the highest level of Paradise, with doubt, it increases."
