Musnad Ahmad 19439

Translation

✧ Any man who shoots an arrow in the path of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and it reaches the enemy, whether missing or hitting, will have the reward of a slave he frees from the descendants of Ismāʿīl. Any man who grows a gray hair in the path of Allah will have light. Any Muslim man who frees a Muslim man, each limb of the freed one is a ransom for a limb of the one who freed him from the Fire. Any Muslim woman who frees a Muslim woman, each limb of the freed one is a ransom for a limb of the one who freed her from the Fire. Any Muslim man or woman who offers to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, three of his own children who have not reached the age of accountability, they will be a screen for him from the Fire. Any man who rises to perform ablution intending prayer and completes the ablution to its proper places is safe from every sin or error he has; if he then rises to pray, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, raises him a degree by it, and if he sits, he sits safely. Shuraḥbīl b. al-Simṭ said: Did you hear this hadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, O Ibn ʿAbasah? He said: Yes, by the One besides whom there is no god. If I had not heard this hadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ more than once, or twice, or three, or four, or five, or six, or seven—and he stopped at seven—I would not have sworn, meaning I would not have cared not to narrate it to anyone. But by Allah, I do not know the number of times I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
