58. Expeditions
٥٨۔ كِتَابُ السِّيَرِ
[Machine] I witnessed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the palace of Ta'if, and I heard the Prophet of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever throws an arrow and it reaches its target, he will have a degree in Paradise." A man said, "O Prophet of Allah, if I throw an arrow and it reaches its target, will I have a degree in Paradise?" He said, "Yes." So he threw the arrow and it reached its target. He said, "On that day, I threw sixteen arrows." And I heard the Prophet of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever turns gray in the way of Allah, they will have light on the Day of Resurrection. And whoever throws an arrow, they will have light on the Day of Resurrection. And any man who emancipates a Muslim slave, then Allah will make every bone from his bones safe from the Fire. And any Muslim woman who emancipates a Muslim woman, then Allah will make every bone from her bones a bone of her emancipated from the Fire." It was also narrated by Asad ibn Wada'ah from Abi Najeeh Amr ibn Abasah.
شَهِدْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَصْرَ الطَّائِفِ فَسَمِعْتُ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فَبَلَغَ فَلَهُ دَرَجَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ إِنْ رَمَيْتُ بِسَهْمٍ فَلِي دَرَجَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَرَمَى فَبَلَغَ قَالَ وَبَلَغْتُ يَوْمَئِذٍ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ سَهْمًا قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ شَابَ شَيْبَةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ كَانَ لَهُ نُورًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَأَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أَعْتَقَ رَجُلًا مُسْلِمًا فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ جَاعِلٌ وِقَاءَ كُلِّ عَظْمٍ مِنْ عِظَامِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ وَأَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ مُسْلِمَةٍ أَعْتَقَتِ امْرَأَةً مُسْلِمَةً فَإِنَّ اللهَ جَاعِلٌ وِقَاءَ كُلِّ عَظْمٍ مِنْ عِظَامِهَا عَظْمًا مِنْ عِظَامِ مُحَرَّرِهَا مِنَ النَّارِ وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا أَسَدُ بْنُ وَدَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبَسَةَ
“I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘Whoever shoots an arrow at the enemy and his arrow reaches the enemy, whether it hits him or not, that is equivalent to him freeing a slave.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2812)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ رَمَى الْعَدُوَّ بِسَهْمٍ فَبَلَغَ سَهْمُهُ أَخْطَأَ أَوْ أَصَابَ فَعِدْلُ رَقَبَةٍ
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever goes gray in Islam will have a light on the Day of Judgment, and whoever throws an arrow in the cause of Allah is like freeing a slave."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ شَابَ شَيْبَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ كَانَ كَعِتْقِ رَقَبَةٍ
[Machine] "I heard Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas saying: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Al-Hasan ibn 'Arfatah, meaning he shook his garment on the day of Uhud and said, "May my mother and father be sacrificed for you."'
سَمِعْتُ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ ؓ يَقُولُ نَثَلَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَرَفَةَ يَعْنِي نَفَضَ كِنَانَتَهُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَقَالَ ارْمِ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "I never saw my parents together except for Sa'd, for he said, 'May my father and mother be sacrificed for you.'"
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ جَمَعَ أَبَوَيْهِ إِلَّا لِسَعْدٍ فَإِنَّهُ قَالَ ارْمِ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي
[Machine] Abu Talhah used to accompany the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with one shield. Abu Talhah was skilled at throwing and whenever he threw, the Prophet ﷺ would look at the direction of his nobility.
كَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ تَتَرَّسَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِتُرْسٍ وَاحِدٍ وَكَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ حَسَنَ الرَّمْيِ وَكَانَ إِذَا رَمَى أَشْرَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَيَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ نَبْلِهِ
