[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, you have known the status of Haritha from me. If he is among the people of paradise, then I will be patient. But if not, then you will see what I will do." He said, "O Umm Haritha, it is not just one paradise, but there are many gardens, and he is in the highest level of paradise." She said, "Then I will be patient."

Haritha was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and he was a young boy then. His mother came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! You know how dear Haritha is to me. If he is in Paradise, I shall remain patient, and hope for reward from Allah, but if it is not so, then you shall see what I do?" He said, "May Allah be merciful to you! Have you lost your senses? Do you think there is only one Paradise? There are many Paradises and your son is in the (most superior) Paradise of Al- Firdaus."

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."

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."

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, you have surely known my status with Haritha. If he is among the people of Paradise, then I will be patient. Otherwise, Allah will see what I will do." He replied, "O mother of Haritha, Paradise is not just one, but it is numerous gardens. And indeed, he is in the highest level of Paradise."

[Machine] That Harithah went out as a lookout and an arrow came and killed him. His mother said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have come to know the location of Harithah from me. If he is in paradise, then I will be patient, and if not, you will see what I will do." He said, "O mother of Harithah, indeed paradise is not one garden, but there are many gardens. And indeed Harithah is in the best of them, or he said, in the highest level of Paradise, with doubt, it increases."
