It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Najeeh Salmi (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We besieged the fort or palace of Ta’if in the company of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever shoots an arrow in the way of Allah will receive one rank in Paradise. So, I shot sixteen arrows that day. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) further said: And whoever strikes the enemy with an arrow in the way of Allah, he will have a reward equal to freeing a slave man or woman. And whoever grows old in the way of Allah, then the whiteness of his old age will be a source of light for him on the Day of Resurrection.
