Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ حَارِثَةَ ابْنَ الرُّبَيِّعِ جَاءَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ نَظَّارًا وَكَانَ غُلَامًا فَجَاءَ سَهْمٌ غَرْبٌ فَوَقَعَ فِي ثُغْرَةِ نَحْرِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَجَاءَتْ أُمُّهُ الرُّبَيِّعُ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَكَانَ حَارِثَةَ مِنِّي فَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَسَأَصْبِرُ وَإِلَّا فَسَيَرَى اللَّهُ مَا أَصْنَعُ قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّ حَارِثَةَ إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِجَنَّةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَلَكِنَّهَا جِنَانٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَإِنَّهُ فِي الْفِرْدَوْسِ الْأَعْلَى.
English Translation
Harithah ibn al-Rubayyi' came on the day of Badr as a spectator — he was a boy. A stray arrow struck the hollow of his throat and killed him. His mother, al-Rubayyi', came and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you know how dear Harithah is to me. If he is in Paradise, I will be patient; otherwise, Allah will see what I shall do.' He said: 'O Umm Harithah, it is not just one Paradise; there are many gardens. And he is in the highest Firdaws.'
