حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُلَيْحٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ هِلاَلِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لَقَابُ قَوْسٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا تَطْلُعُ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ وَتَغْرُبُ ". وَقَالَ " لَغَدْوَةٌ أَوْ رَوْحَةٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا تَطْلُعُ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ وَتَغْرُبُ ".
Ibrahim ibn al-Mundhir narrated to us; Muhammad ibn Fulayh narrated to us, who said: My father told me, from Hilal ibn ʿAli, from ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Abi ʿAmra, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet, who said: “A bow’s length of space in Paradise is better than all that the sun rises and sets upon.” He also said, “A morning or evening journey in Allah’s cause is better than all that the sun rises and sets upon.”
Translation notes
Rendered the measure “a bow’s length” literally.
