The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "None will enter Paradise but will be shown the place he would have occupied in
the (Hell) Fire if he had rejected faith, so that he may be more thankful; and none will enter the (Hell)
Fire but will be shown the place he would have occupied in Paradise if he had faith, so that may be a
cause of sorrow for him."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 81, Hadith 157

Um (the mother of) Haritha came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) after Haritha had been martyred on the Day (of
the battle) of Badr by an arrow thrown by an unknown person. She said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! 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 (ﷺ) said, "Are you mad? Is there
only one Paradise? There are many Paradises, and he is in the highest Paradise of Firdaus." The
Prophet 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."

I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Who will be the luckiest person who will gain your intercession on the Day
of Resurrection?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Abu Huraira! I have thought that none will ask me about this
Hadith before you, as I know your longing for the (learning of) Hadiths. The luckiest person who will
have my intercession on the Day of Resurrection will be the one who said, 'None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah,' sincerely from the bottom of his heart."
