«… حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ السُّلَمِيِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ " مَنْ بَلَغَ بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ لَهُ دَرَجَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ". فَبَلَّغْتُ يَوْمَئِذٍ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ سَهْمًا. قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ " مَنْ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ عِدْلُ مُحَرَّرٍ ".»

The book of deeds (kitab al-a'mal)

The book of deeds as Sheikh Omar Abdelkafy describes it in the series 'Al Fawzu Al Moubeen': the sheets flying and hanging from the necks, the books received from different directions, reading it as an examination result is read, and its counting of every small and great thing on the Day of Judgement.
