عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ السِّمْطِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ يَا كَعْبَ بْنَ مُرَّةَ حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاحْذَرْ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ارْمُوا أَهْلَ صُنْعٍ مَنْ بَلَغَ الْعَدُوَّ بِسَهْمٍ رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ دَرَجَةً قَالَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي النَّحَّامِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الدَّرَجَةُ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَا إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِعَتَبَةِ أُمِّكَ وَلَكِنَّهَا بَيْنَ الدَّرَجَتَيْنِ مِائَةُ عَامٍ
Sayyiduna Shurahbil bin Simt (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Murrah (may Allah be pleased with him): O Ka'b bin Murrah! Narrate to us a hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but be cautious. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: O skilled ones! Shoot arrows; whoever's arrow reaches the enemy, Allah Almighty will raise him by one rank. Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Abi Naham (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! What is a rank? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: That rank is not like the threshold of your mother, rather the distance between two ranks is as much as the journey of one hundred years.
