Haritha was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Badr while he was
young. His mother came to the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! You
know the relation of Haritha to me (how fond of him I was); so, if he
is in Paradise, I will remain patient and wish for Allah’s reward, but
if he is not there, then you will see what I will do.” The Prophet (ﷺ)
replied, “May Allah be merciful upon you! Have you gone mad? (Do you
think) it is one Paradise? There are many Paradises and he is in the
(most superior) Paradise of Al-Firdaus.”
