1638. Abū Najīh As-Sulamī [may Allāh be pleased with him] said, I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "Whoever shoots an arrow in the cause of Allāh, then he has the reward of freeing a slave." (Sahīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Sahīh. Abū Najīh is 'Amr bin 'Abasah As-Sulamī, and 'Abdullāh bin Al-Azraq is 'Abdullāh bin Zaid.
١٦٣٨ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ» اللهِ فَهُوَ لَهُ عِدْلُ مُحَرَّرٍ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَأَبُو نَجِيحٍ هُوَ: عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبَسَةَ السُّلَمِيُّ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْأَزْرَقِ هُوَ: عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ.

Freeing slaves is an act of great virtue for which the promised reward is salvation from Fire. Equal in merit is a person using his weapons in the cause of Allāh. Therefore, learning and practising the use of weapons must be regarded as superior to practising the art of riding.
