2809. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه: Umm Ar-Ruba' bint Al-Barā', the mother of Hārītha bin Surāqa came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Prophet! Will you tell me about Hārītha?" Hārītha has been killed (i.e., martyred) on the day of (the battle of) Baqr 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 Hārītha! There are Gardens in Paradise and your son got the Firdaus Al-A'la (i.e., the best place in Paradise)."

2809 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ أُمَّ الرُّبَيِّعِ بِنْتَ البَرَاءِ وَهِيَ أُمُّ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ سُرَاقَةَ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، أَلاَ تُحَدِّثُنِي عَنْ حَارِثَةَ، وَكَانَ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ أَصَابَهُ سَهْمٌ غَرْبٌ، فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي الجَنَّةِ صَبَرْتُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ، اجْتَهَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ فِي البُكَاءِ، قَالَ: «يَا أُمَّ حَارِثَةَ إِنَّهَا جِنَانٌ فِي الجَنَّةِ، وَإِنَّ ابْنَكِ أَصَابَ الفِرْدَوْسَ الأَعْلَى»
