أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ السِّمْطِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا كَعْبُ حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاحْذَرْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ شَابَ شَيْبَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ حَدِّثْنَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاحْذَرْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ ارْمُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مَنْ بَلَغَ الْعَدُوَّ بِسَهْمٍ رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ دَرَجَةً ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ ابْنُ النَّحَّامِ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الدَّرَجَةُ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَا إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِعَتَبَةِ أُمِّكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَكِنْ مَا بَيْنَ الدَّرَجَتَيْنِ مِائَةُ عَامٍ .

It was narrated that Shurahbil bin As-Simt said to Ka'b bin Murrah: O Ka'b! Tell us a Hadith from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and be careful. He said: I heard him say: 'Whoever develops one gray hair in Islam, in the cause of Allah, it will be light for him on the Day of Resurrection.' He said to him: Tell us about the Prophet (ﷺ) and be careful. He said: I heard him say: 'Shoot, and whoever hits the enemy with an arrow, Allah will raise him one degree in status thereby.' Ibn An-Nahhan said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what is a degree?' He said: 'It is not like the doorstep of your mother; [1] rather (the distance) between two degrees is (that if) a hundred years.' [1] As explained after it; the degree of distance is greater than such a degree in this world.
