Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَرِيزٌ عَنْ سُلَيْمٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَامِرٍ أَنَّ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنَ السِّمْطِ قَالَ 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-Hakam ibn Nafi' told us: Hariz told us, from Sulaym — that is, Ibn Amir — that Shurahbil ibn al-Simt said to Amr ibn Abasah: "Tell us a hadith without exaggeration or forgetfulness." Amr said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "Whoever frees a Muslim slave, it will be his ransom from the Fire, limb for limb; and whoever turns gray with a single gray hair in the way of Allah, 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 as one who has freed a slave from the descendants of Isma'il."
