3965. It was narrated that Abū Najīh As-Sulamī said: "We besieged the citadel of Aṭ-Tā'if with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ" - Mu'ādḥ (one of the narrators) said: "I heard my father saying: 'the citadel of Aṭ-Tā'if,' and 'the fortress of Aṭ-Tā'if both ways'" - "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'Whoever causes an arrow to hit its target in the cause of Allāh, he will attain a degree,'" and he quoted the Hadīth. "And I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'Any Muslim man who ransoms a Muslim man, Allāh will make each of his bones a protection for each of his (liberator's) bones from the Fire. And any Muslim woman who ransoms a Muslim woman, Allāh will make each of her bones a protection for each of her (liberator's) bones from the Fire, on the Day of Resurrection.'" (Sahīh)
