وَقَالَ عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، ثَنَا سَالِمُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ؓ قَالَ:
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ ثَلَاثٌ: مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَرْمِي بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ تَعَالَى فِي الْعَدُوِّ أَصَابَ أَوْ أَخْطَأَ، إِلَّا كَانَ أَجْرُ ذَلِكَ السَّهْمِ لَهُ كَعَدْلِ نَسَمَةٍ، وَمَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ابْيَضَّتْ مِنْهُ شَعَرَةٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ تَعَالَى إِلَّا كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا تَسْعَى بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَمَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَعْتَقَ صَغِيرًا أَوْ كَبِيرًا إِلَّا كَانَ حَقًّا عَلَى اللهِ تَعَالَى أَنْ يَجْزِيَهُ بِكُلِّ عُضْوٍ مِنْهُ أَضْعَافًا مُضَاعَفَةً

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say: 'Every Muslim has three (blessings): There is no man among the Muslims who shoots an arrow in the path of Allah Most High at the enemy, whether he hits or misses, but the reward of that arrow will be for him like the equivalent of a living soul (i.e., freeing a slave). And there is no man among the Muslims from whom a hair turns white in the path of Allah Most High but it will be for him a light that runs before him on the Day of Resurrection. And there is no man among the Muslims who frees a slave, young or old, but it becomes a right upon Allah Most High to reward him for every limb of that (slave) with multiple, multiplied (rewards).'
