Narrated Anas: Haritha was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and he was a young boy then. His mother came to the Prophet and said, O Allah's Apostle! You know how dear Haritha is to me. If he is in Paradise, I shall remain patient, and hope for reward from Allah, but if it is not so, then you shall see what I do? He said, May Allah be merciful to you! Have you lost your senses? Do you think there is only one Paradise? There are many Paradises and your son is in the (most superior) Paradise of Al- Firdaus.

So we found her riding her camel at the place which Allah's Apostle had mentioned. We said (to her), (Give us) the letter. She said, I have no letter. Then we made her camel kneel down and we searched her, but we found no letter. Then we said, Allah's Apostle had not told us a lie, certainly. Take out the letter, otherwise we will strip you naked. When she saw that we were determined, she put her hand below her waist belt, for she had tied her cloak round her waist, and she took out the letter, and we brought her to Allah's Apostle Then `Umar said, O Allah's Apostle! (This Hatib) has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers! Let me cut off his neck! The Prophet asked Hatib, What made you do this? Hatib said, By Allah, I did not intend to give up my belief in Allah and His Apostle but I wanted to have some influence among the (Mecca) people so that through it, Allah might protect my family and property. There is none of your companions but has some of his relatives there through whom Allah protects his family and property. The Prophet said, He has spoken the truth; do no say to him but good. `Umar said, He as betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the faithful believers. Let me cut off his neck! The Prophet said, Is he not one of the Badr warriors? May be Allah looked at the Badr warriors and said, 'Do whatever you like, as I have granted Paradise to you, or said, 'I have forgiven you. ' On this, tears came out of `Umar's eyes, and he said, Allah and His Apostle know better.
