It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Harithah (may Allah be pleased with him) went out (on the battlefield) to observe the situation, and a stray arrow struck him and killed him (as a martyr). Thereupon his mother, Sayyidah Umm Harithah (may Allah be pleased with her), said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), you know well the place Harithah held with me. If he is in Paradise, I will be patient; otherwise you will see what I do (in my grief)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Umm Harithah, it is not one single Paradise; rather they are many gardens, and Harithah is certainly in the most excellent of them", or he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He is in the highest Firdaws." The narrator of the hadith, Yazid (may Allah have mercy on him), said: I am in doubt (about these last words).
