أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَامٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ قَالَ كَانَ يَمُرُّ بِي عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ فَيَقُولُ يَا خَالِدُ اخْرُجْ بِنَا نَرْمِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أَبْطَأْتُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ يَا خَالِدُ تَعَالَ أُخْبِرْكَ مَا قَالَ
لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ يُدْخِلُ بِالسَّهْمِ الْوَاحِدِ ثَلَاثَةَ نَفَرٍ الْجَنَّةَ صَانِعَهُ يَحْتَسِبُ فِي صَنْعَتِهِ الْخَيْرَ وَالرَّامِيَ بِهِ وَمُنْبِلَهُ فَارْمُوا وَارْكَبُوا وَأَنْ تَرْمُوا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَرْكَبُوا وَلَيْسَ اللهْوُ إِلَّا فِي ثَلَاثَةٍ تَأْدِيبِ الرَّجُلِ فَرَسَهُ وَمُلَاعَبَتِهِ امْرَأَتَهُ وَرَمْيِهِ بِقَوْسِهِ وَنَبْلِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ الرَّمْيَ بَعْدَمَا عَلِمَهُ رَغْبَةً عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهَا نِعْمَةٌ كَفَرَهَا أَوْ قَالَ كَفَرَ بِهَا

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for me, so I went to him and he said: "Allah admits three people to Paradise by a single arrow: its maker, who seeks good in making it; the one who shoots it; and the one who hands it to the shooter. So shoot and ride, and shooting is dearer to me than riding. Amusement is only in three things: a man training his horse, playing with his wife, and shooting with his bow and arrows. Whoever abandons archery after having learned it, out of aversion to it, it is a blessing he has rejected."
