حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَّامٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَزْرَقِ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ قَالَ
إِنَّ اللهَ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] يُدْخِلُ الثَّلَاثَةَ بِالسَّهْمِ الْوَاحِدِ الْجَنَّةَ، صَانِعَهُ يَحْتَسِبُ فِي صَنْعَتِهِ الْخَيْرَ، وَالْمُمِدَّ بِهِ، وَالرَّامِيَ بِهِ. وَقَالَ: ارْمُوا وَارْكَبُوا، وَأَنْ تَرْمُوا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَرْكَبُوا، وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ يَلْهُو بِهِ الرَّجُلُ بَاطِلٌ إِلَّا رَمْيَهُ بِقَوْسِهِ، وَتَأْدِيبَهُ فَرَسَهُ، وَمُلَاعَبَتَهُ امْرَأَتَهُ، فَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنَ الْحَقِّ، وَمَنْ نَسِيَ الرَّمْيَ بَعْدَمَا عَلِمَهُ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِي عَلِمَهُ

✧ Allah [Mighty and Majestic] will admit three people into Paradise by a single arrow: its maker who seeks good in making it, the one who hands it, and the one who shoots it. And he said: 'Shoot and ride, but shooting is more beloved to me than riding. Everything a man amuses himself with is false except his shooting with his bow, training his horse, and playing with his wife, for these are from truth. Whoever forgets shooting after learning it has disbelieved in what he learned.'
