It is narrated from Sayyiduna Malik al-Hilali (may Allah be pleased with him) that someone asked: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Who are the people of al-A'raf (those who will be on a high place between Paradise and Hell)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They are people who went out to fight in the path of Allah Almighty without obtaining the permission of their parents and were then martyred. Their martyrdom kept them from entering Hell, but (their) disobedience (to their parents) deprived them of (immediate) entry into Paradise."
Imam al-Harith also narrated another similar narration through Muhammad bin Umar, Ibrahim bin Ja'far, al-Zuhri, Suhayl and his father from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said a hadith with the same meaning.
