[Machine] We surrounded the palace of Ta'if with the Prophet ﷺ , and I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Whoever throws an arrow in the cause of Allah, it will be a freeing of a slave for him." On that day, I reached sixteen arrows, and I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Whoever throws an arrow in the cause of Allah, it will be a rank for him in Paradise. And whoever becomes gray-haired in Islam, it will be a light for him on the Day of Resurrection. And whatever Muslim man frees a Muslim slave, then Allah will make every bone of his from the bones of hellfire a bone from the bones of his freed slave. And whatever Muslim woman frees a Muslim woman, then Allah will make every bone of hers from the bones of hellfire a bone from the bones of her freed slave."

Along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ we besieged the palace of at-Ta'if. The narrator, Mutadh, said: I heard my father (sometimes) say: "Palace of at-Ta'if," and (sometimes) "Fort of at-Ta'if," which are the same. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: he who causes an arrow to hit its mark in Allah's cause will have it counted as a degree for him (in Paradise). He then transmitted the rest of the tradition. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: If a Muslim man emancipates a Muslim man, Allah, the Exalted, will make every bone of his protection for every bone of his emancipator from Hell; and if a Muslim woman emancipates a Muslim woman, Allah will make every bone of hers protection for every bone of her emancipator from Hell on the Day of Resurrection.

[Machine] We besieged the fortress or palace of Ta'if with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He said, "Whoever reaches the enemy's line with an arrow in the cause of Allah will have a rank in Paradise." That day, I shot sixteen arrows. Whoever shoots an arrow in the cause of Allah will have a justly freed slave as his share. Whoever is struck with white hair in the cause of Allah will have a light on the Day of Resurrection. And whoever frees a Muslim slave, Allah will make every bone from his bones a bone from the fire. And whoever frees a Muslim woman, Allah will make every bone from her bones a bone from the fire.

[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.
