[Machine] "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.'"

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."

She said, "O mother of Haritha, it is the gardens in Paradise, and your son has reached the highest level of Paradise, Al-Firdaus."
