حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ أُمَّ حَارِثَةَ، أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَدْ هَلَكَ حَارِثَةُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، أَصَابَهُ غَرْبُ سَهْمٍ‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَوْقِعَ حَارِثَةَ مِنْ قَلْبِي، فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لَمْ أَبْكِ عَلَيْهِ، وَإِلاَّ سَوْفَ تَرَى مَا أَصْنَعُ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهَا ‏ "‏ هَبِلْتِ، أَجَنَّةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ هِيَ إِنَّهَا جِنَانٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، وَإِنَّهُ فِي الْفِرْدَوْسِ الأَعْلَى ‏"‏‏.‏ (وَقَالَ ‏:‏غَدْوَةٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ رَوْحَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا، وَلَقَابُ قَوْسِ أَحَدِكُمْ أَوْ مَوْضِعُ قَدَمٍ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا، وَلَوْ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ اطَّلَعَتْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، لأَضَاءَتْ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا، وَلَمَلأَتْ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا رِيحًا، وَلَنَصِيفُهَا ـ يَعْنِي الْخِمَارَ ـ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا‏)‏‏.‏

Narrated Anas:Um (the mother of) Haritha came to Allah's Messenger (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 Allah's Messenger (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

Anas bataate hain: Umm (Haritha ki maa) Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ke paas aayi jab Haritha jang-e-Badr ke din ek anjaan shaks ke chalaaye hue teer se shaheed ho gaye the. Usne kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Aapko pata hai Haritha ka mere dil mein kya darja hai (mujhe unse kitna pyaar tha), isliye agar wo Jannat mein hain, to main unke liye nahi roungi, warna aap dekhenge main kya karti hoon.' Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, 'Kya tum paagal ho? Kya sirf ek hi Jannat hai? Bahut si Jannaten hain, aur wo Al-Firdaus ki sabse ooche Jannat mein hain.' Nabi (SAW) ne izaafa kiya, 'Allah ki raah mein subah ka safar ya dophar ka safar poori duniya aur usmein jo kuch hai usse behtar hai; aur tum mein se kisi ki kamaan ke barabar jagah, ya Jannat mein pair rakhne jitni jagah, poori duniya aur usmein jo kuch hai usse behtar hai; aur agar Jannat ki auraton mein se koi zameen ki taraf dekhe, to wo zameen aur aasman ke beech ki poori jagah roshni se bhar degi, aur unke beech jo kuch hai usse khushbu se bhar degi; aur uske chehre ka parda poori duniya aur usmein jo kuch hai usse behtar hai.'
