Volume 8, Book 76, Number 572:
Narrated Anas:
Um (the mother of) Haritha came to Allah’s Apostle 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 Apostle! 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 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 wo –
men 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.”
