حَارِثَةُ ابْنُ الرُّبَيِّعِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، وَهُوَ حَارِثَةُ بْنُ سُرَاقَةَ

[Machine] Harithah died on the Day of Uhud. He was struck by an arrow and his mother came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, if he is in Paradise, then I will not cry over him. But if he is in Hellfire, then Allah will see what I will do." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, he is in Paradise, and verily, he is in the highest level of Paradise."  

الطبراني:٣٢٣٦حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْحِمَّانِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ قَالَ

هَلَكَ حَارِثَةُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ أَصَابَهُ سَهْمٌ فَأَتَتْ أُمُّهُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنْ كَانَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لَمْ أَبْكِ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي النَّارِ فَسَيَرَى اللهُ مَا أَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّهَا جِنَانٌ وَإِنَّهُ لَفِي الْفِرْدَوْسِ الْأَعْلَى»

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)  

أحمد:١٣٧٨٧حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي حُمَيْدٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

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  

ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ الْفِرْدَوْسَ الْأَعْلَى لَا يَسْكُنُهُ أَحَدٌ خَلَا الْأَنْبِيَاءُ
