سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3965
Narrated Abu Najih as-Sulami: Along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ we besieged the palace of at-Taif. The narrator, Mutadh, said: I heard my father (sometimes) say: "Palace of at-Taif, " and (sometimes) "Fort of at-Taif, " which are the same. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: he who causes an arrow to hit its mark in Allah's cause will have it counted as a degree for him (in Paradise). He then transmitted the rest of the tradition. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: If a Muslim man emancipates a Muslim man, Allah, the Exalted, will make every bone of his protection for every bone of his emancipator from Hell; and if a Muslim woman emancipates a Muslim woman, Allah will make every bone of hers protection for every bone of her emancipator from Hell on the Day of Resurrection.
