rest of the angels. Therefore, the honourable companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم are more superior than all the Muslims as they are the fortunate people who got to serve the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. (Tafseer Siraat-ul-Jinaan, part 4, Surah Aal-e-Imran, under the verses 124-125, vol. 2, pp. 47-48, summarised)

Observe this Blessed Hadith that also indicates towards the excellence of the martyrs of Badr.

Verily Haarisah is in Jannah-tul-Firdaus

Sayyiduna Anas رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ states: Sayyiduna Haarisah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ was martyred on the day of the battle of Badr, his mother came to the Beloved prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! You know very well how beloved Haarisah was to me. If he is in Paradise, then I will be patient and hope for reward. And if, May Allah forbid, the situation is the opposite to this, then you will see what I will do.’ The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied: ‘Woe to you! Have you lost your mind? Does Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ only have one Paradise? He has many Paradises and no doubt Haarisah (رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ) is in Jannah-tul-Firdaus.’ (Bukhari, vol. 3, p. 12, Hadith 3982)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                  صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! The companions of Badr are such esteemed personalities whose status is very lofty. Understand their eminence from this that the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم gave them the glad tidings of Paradise from his own blessed tongue.

Glad tidings of freedom from hell

The Honourable Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: I am hopeful that those who were present in the expedition of Badr and Hudaybiyah, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه
