حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ الأَكْوَعِ ؓ قَالَ
مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ يَنْتَضِلُونَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ارْمُوا بَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ فَإِنَّ أَبَاكُمْ كَانَ رَامِيًا ارْمُوا وَأَنَا مَعَ بَنِي فُلاَنٍ قَالَ فَأَمْسَكَ أَحَدُ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا لَكُمْ لاَ تَرْمُونَ قَالُوا كَيْفَ نَرْمِي وَأَنْتَ مَعَهُمْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ارْمُوا فَأَنَا مَعَكُمْ كُلِّكُمْ

The Prophet ﷺ passed by some people of the tribe of Bani Aslam who were practicing archery. The Prophet said, "O Bani Ismaʿil ! Practice archery as your father Ismaʿil was a great archer. Keep on throwing arrows and I am with Bani so-and-so." So one of the parties ceased throwing. Allah's Apostle said, "Why do you not throw?" They replied, "How should we throw while you are with them (i.e. on their side)?" On that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Throw, and I am with all of you."
