ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الدَّرَجَةِ الَّتِي يُعْطِيهَا اللَّهُ لِمَنْ بَلَغَ سَهْمًا فِي سَبِيلِهِ

[Machine] Narrated from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to be cautious: "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Whoever reaches the enemy with an arrow, Allah will raise him in rank.' Abdullah bin Nahham asked him, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is the rank?' He replied, 'Certainly, it is not lower than your mother's threshold, which is a distance of one hundred years between two ranks.'"  

ابن حبّان:٤٦١٦أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ السِّمْطِ قَالَ قُلْنَا لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ يَا كَعْبُ

حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَاحْذَرْ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ بَلَغَ الْعَدُوَّ بِسَهْمٍ رَفَعَ اللَّهُ بِهِ دَرَجَةً لَهُ» فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ النَّحَّامِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الدَّرَجَةُ؟ قَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِعَتَبَةِ أُمِّكَ مَا بَيْنَ الدَّرَجَتَيْنِ مِائَةُ عَامٍ»

"O Ka'b! Tell us a Hadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and be careful." He said: "I heard him say: 'Whoever develops one gray hair in Islam, in the cause of Allah, it will be light for him on the Day of Resurrection.'" He said to him: "Tell us about the Prophet ﷺ and be careful." He said: "I heard him say: 'Shoot, and whoever hits the enemy with an arrow, Allah will raise him one degree in status thereby.'" Ibn An-Nahhan said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what is a degree?' He said: 'It is not like the doorstep of your mother; [1] rather (the distance) between two degrees is (that if) a hundred years.'" [1] As explained after it; the degree of distance is greater than such a degree in this world.
