Hadith #568
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَرِيزٌ عَنْ سُلَيْمٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَامِرٍ أَنَّ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنَ السِّمْطِ قَا
لَ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ عَبَسَةَ حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا لَيْسَ فِيهِ تَزَيُّدٌ وَلَا نِسْيَانٌ قَالَ عَمْرٌو سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً مُسْلِمَةً كَانَتْ فِكَاكَهُ مِنْ النَّارِ عُضْوًا بِعُضْوٍ وَمَنْ شَابَ شَيْبَةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فَبَلَغَ فَأَصَابَ أَوْ أَخْطَأَ كَانَ كَمَنْ أَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ

English Translation
Al-Ḥakam ibn Nāfiʿ narrated to us, Ḥarīz narrated to us, from Sulaym — meaning Ibn ʿĀmir: that Shuraḥbīl ibn al-Simṭ said to ʿAmr ibn ʿAbasah: "Narrate to us a ḥadīth with no additions and no omissions." ʿAmr said: I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: "Whoever frees a Muslim slave, it will be his ransom from the Fire, limb for limb. Whoever grows a grey hair in the path of Allāh, it will be a light for him on the Day of Resurrection. And whoever shoots an arrow that reaches its target — whether it hits or misses — it is like freeing a slave from the descendants of Ismāʿīl."
