Obligation of Jihad
وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ أُمَّ الرُّبَيِّعِ بِنْتَ الْبَرَاءِ وهي أُمُّ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ سُرَاقَةَ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا تُحَدِّثُنِي عنْ حَارِثَةَ. وَكَانَ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ صَبَرْتُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ اجْتَهَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْبُكَاءِ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمَّ حَارِثَةَ إِنَّهَا جِنَانٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِنَّ ابْنَكِ أَصَابَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ الْأَعْلَى ((رَوَاهُ البخاريُّ)).
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Umm Ar-Rubaiy'i bint Al-Bara', who was the mother of Harithah bin Suraqah, came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Will you not tell me about Harithah? (He was killed in the battle of Badr). If he is in Jannah I shall show endurance, but if he has met another fate, I may exert myself in weeping for him." He (ﷺ) replied, "O mother of Harithah, in in the gardens of Jannah there are many ranks, and your son has attained Al-Firdaus, the highest." [Al- Bukhari].
