English translation

2812. It was narrated that 'Amr bin 'Abasah said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'Whoever shoots an arrow at the enemy and his arrow reaches the enemy, whether it hits him or not, that is equivalent to him freeing a slave.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

2812 - حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقُرَشِيِّ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبَسَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ رَمَى الْعَدُوَّ بِسَهْمٍ، فَبَلَغَ سَهْمُهُ الْعَدُوَّ، أَصَابَ أَوْ أَخْطَأَ، فَعَدْلُ رَقَبَةٍ»

Commentary

Missiles, bombs, and bullets of a gun have the same ruling; the artilleryman gets the reward even if he misses the target because his attempt and intention was to destroy the target.
