We laid siege with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at the fortress of Taif. Muaz said, I heard Ubayy say, "at the fortress of Taif" and "at the stronghold of Taif," using both expressions.I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever shoots an arrow in the path of Allah will earn a rank in Paradise." He continued the hadith.I also heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Any Muslim man who frees a Muslim man, Allah
will make every bone of the freed man a shield for every bone of his own from the Fire. And any woman who frees a Muslim woman, Allah will make every bone of the freed woman a shield for every bone of her own from the Fire on the Day of Resurrection."
حدثنا محمد بن المثنى حدثنا معاذ بن هشام حدثني أبي عن قتادة عن سالم بن أبي الجعد عن معدان بن أبي طلحة اليعمري
حاصرنا مع رسول الله ﷺ بقصر الطائف قال معاذ سمعت أبي يقول بقصر الطائف بحصن الطائف كل ذلك فسمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول من بلغ بسهم في سبيل الله عز وجل فله درجة وساق الحديث وسمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول أيما رجل مسلم أعتق رجلا مسلما فإن الله عز وجل جاعل وقاء كل عظم من عظامه عظما من عظام محرره من النار وأيما امرأة أعتقت امرأة مسلمة فإن الله جاعل وقاء كل عظم من عظامها عظما من عظام محررها من النار يوم القيامة
Its chain of transmission is sahih.Tirmidhi narrated it in the Book of the Virtues of Jihad, chapter on what has been said about the virtue of archery in the path of Allah, hadith 1638, from Muaz bin Hisham with this same wording, and he said, "Sahih." Ibn Hibban also graded it sahih, hadith 1645, as did Hakim, 22/95, 121, 3/50, and Dhahabi agreed with him. Qatada explicitly stated that he heard it directly, as recorded by Ibn Mubarak in al-Jihad, hadith 219, and by Bayhaqi, 9/161. Abu Najeeh is Amr bin Salama
