3147. It was narrated that Shurâhbil bin As-Simṭ said: "I said: 'O 'Amr bin 'Abasah! Tell us a Hadîth that you heard from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ without forgetting or omitting anything.' He said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: Whoever shoots and arrow in the cause of Allāh, and it reaches the enemy, whether it misses or hits, it will be as if he freed slave. Whoever frees a believing slave, that will be a ransom for him, limb by limb, from the Fire of Hell. Whoever develops a gray hair in the cause of Allāh, it will be light for him on the Day of Resurrection.'" (Sahih)
