حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ أُمَّ حَارِثَةَ، أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ هَلَكَ حَارِثَةُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، أَصَابَهُ غَرْبُ سَهْمٍ.

فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَوْقِعَ حَارِثَةَ مِنْ قَلْبِي، فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لَمْ أَبْكِ عَلَيْهِ، وَإِلَاّ سَوْفَ تَرَى مَا أَصْنَعُ.

فَقَالَ لَهَا «هَبِلْتِ، أَجَنَّةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ هِيَ إِنَّهَا جِنَانٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، وَإِنَّهُ فِي الْفِرْدَوْسِ الأَعْلَى». (وَقَالَ: غَدْوَةٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ رَوْحَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا، وَلَقَابُ قَوْسِ أَحَدِكُمْ أَوْ مَوْضِعُ قَدَمٍ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا، وَلَوْ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ اطَّلَعَتْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، لأَضَاءَتْ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا، وَلَمَلأَتْ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا رِيحًا، وَلَنَصِيفُهَا يَعْنِي الْخِمَارَ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا)

Um (the mother of) Haritha came to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) after Haritha had been martyred on the Day (of the battle) of Badr by an arrow thrown by an unknown person.

She said, “O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! You know the position of Haritha in my heart (i.e. how dear to me he was), so if he is in Paradise, I will not weep for him, or otherwise, you will see what I will do.”

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Are you mad? Is there only one Paradise? There are many Paradises, and he is in the highest Paradise of Firdaus.” The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) added, “A forenoon journey or an after noon journey in Allah’s Cause is better than the whole world and whatever is in it; and a place equal to an arrow bow of anyone of you, or a place equal to a foot in Paradise is better than the whole world and whatever is in it; and if one of the women of Paradise looked at the earth, she would fill the whole space between them (the earth and the heaven) with light, and would fill whatever is in between them, with perfume, and the veil of her face is better than the whole world and whatever is in it.”

আনাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত যে, বদরের যুদ্ধে হারিসা (রাঃ) অজ্ঞাত তীরের আঘাতে শাহাদাত লাভ করলে তাঁর মা রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর নিকট এসে বলল, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! আমার অন্তরে হারিসার মায়া-মমতা যে কত গভীর তা তো আপনি জানেন। অতএব সে যদি জান্নাতে থাকে তবে আমি তার জন্য রোনাজারি করব না। আর যদি তা না হয় তবে আপনি শীঘ্রই দেখবেন আমি কী করি।

তখন নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম তাকে বললেনঃ তুমি কি জ্ঞানশূন্য হয়ে গেছ। জান্নাত কি একটি, না কি অনেক? আর সে তো সবচেয়ে উন্নত মর্যাদার জান্নাত ফিরদাউসে আছে। [২৮০৯]

ہم سے قتیبہ نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے اسماعیل بن جعفر نے بیان کیا، ان سے حمید نے اور ان سے انس رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ حارثہ بن سراقہ بن حارث رضی اللہ عنہ کی والدہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی خدمت میں حاضر ہوئیں۔ حارثہ بدر کی لڑائی میں ایک نامعلوم تیر لگ جانے کی وجہ سے شہید ہو گئے تھے اور انہوں نے کہا: یا رسول اللہ!

آپ کو معلوم ہے کہ حارثہ سے مجھے کتنی محبت تھی، اگر وہ جنت میں ہے تو اس پر میں نہیں روؤں گی، ورنہ آپ دیکھیں گے کہ میں کیا کرتی ہوں۔ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ان سے فرمایا کہ بیوقوف ہوئی ہو، کیا کوئی جنت ایک ہی ہے، جنتیں تو بہت سی ہیں اور حارثہ ”فردوس اعلیٰ“ ( جنت کے اونچے درجے ) میں ہے۔

Enes r.a. şöyle anlatmıştır: Harise'nin annesi Rubey bnt. Nadr Rasulullah'a geldi, oğlu Harise b. Süraka Bedir savaşında atanı bilinmeyen serseri bir ok isabetiyle öldürülmüştü. Kadın "Ya Resulallah! Sen oğlum Harise'nin kalbimdeki yerini biliyorsun. Eğer oğlum cennette ise ben (onun acısını sabredip) ağlamam. Cennette değilse ona nasıl davranacağımı görürsün!"

dedi. Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem "Yazık sana sen aklını mı kaçırdın? Cennet bir tane midir? Cennet şüphesiz birçok cennetlerdir. Şu muhakkak ki senin oğlun elbette Firdevs cennetindedir!" buyurdu

What it means

These two Hadīths illustrate the virtue of performing Jihad in the cause of Allah, even for a short length of time as the morning or evening. So, how about Jihad that lasts for long periods of time, which includes perseverance and struggling against the enemy? This is actually the original meaning intended by the statement: "the cause of Allah", which is fighting against the disbelievers with the hand.

It must be known that seeking Islamic knowledge is a magnificent type of striving in the cause of Allah. Likewise supporting the truth, and refuting the arguments of the heretics, atheists and the western missionaries who fight against Islam and wish to eliminate it, are also from the greatest types of striving in the cause of Allah.

Hence, what is meant by Jihad is to make Islam superior and support it, for suppressing such people is one of the greatest forms of Jihad. O Allah, grant the Muslims success to bring victory to their religion, and supremacy to Your Word. Indeed, You are Close and Ever-Responding.
