(3). 3174. Anas bin Mālik narrated that Ar-Ruba'ī bint An-Nadr came to the Prophet ﷺ - and her son Hārīthah bin Surāqah 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 Allāh ﷺ and said: "Inform me about Hārīthah. If he has reached goodness, I shall be forbearing and patient. If he has not reached goodness, I will struggle supplicating for him." So Allāh's Prophet ﷺ said: "O Umm Hārīthah! There are gardens in Paradise, and verily your son Hārīthah has reached the highest part of Al-Firdaws, and Al-Firdaws is the highest part of Paradise, its most center and best." (Sahīh)

Commentary
This Hadīth explains the meaning of the 11th Verse of Sūrat Al-Mu'minūn: 'Those who shall inherit Firdous (Paradise)'. It proves that a Muslim who partakes in the battle with passion of Jihād and he is killed by an arrow coming from an unknown direction, and its shooter is unknown too, he will be regarded as a martyr.
