Hadith 4616
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ ، عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ السِّمْطِ ، قَالَ : قُلْنَا لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ : يَا كَعْبُ ، حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاحْذَرْ ، فَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ بَلَغَ الْعَدُوَّ بِسَهْمٍ رَفَعَ اللَّهُ بِهِ دَرَجَةً لَهُ " . فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ النَّحَّامِ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الدَّرَجَةُ ؟ قَالَ : " أَمَا إِِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِعَتَبَةِ أُمِّكَ ، مَا بَيْنَ الدَّرَجَتَيْنِ مِائَةُ عَامٍ " . قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : قَوْلُهُمْ لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ : حَدِّثْنَا وَاحْذَرْ ، يُرِيدُونَ بِقَوْلِهِمْ : وَاحْذَرْ أَنْ لا تَزِلَّ فَتُزِيدَ أَوْ تَنْقُصَ ، وَلَمْ يُرِيدُوا بِقَوْلِهِمْ : وَاحْذَرْ أَنْ لا تَكْذِبَ لأَنَّهُمْ كُلُّهُمْ عُدُولٌ رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَأَلْحَقَنَا بِهِمْ .
Sharhabeel bin Simt narrates: We said to Sayyiduna Ka’b bin Murrah (may Allah be pleased with him): O Sayyiduna Ka’b (may Allah be pleased with him), narrate to us a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and be cautious. So he said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: “Whoever shoots an arrow at the enemy, Allah raises his rank because of it.” Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Naham (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! What is meant by rank? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: It is not like the threshold of your mother’s house, rather, between two ranks is a distance of one hundred years’ journey. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) When the people said to Sayyiduna Ka’b bin Murrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that you narrate to us a hadith and be cautious, by this statement they meant that you should be careful not to make a mistake and not to narrate more or less words. They did not mean that you should be cautious of lying, because all the Companions are just (‘adil)—may Allah have mercy on them and grant us their company (in the Hereafter) as well.
