"عن حذيفة قال: كتبَ عمرُ إلى أَهْلِ الشامِ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ! ارْمُوا وَارْكبُوا، والرَّمىُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنَ الرُّكُوبِ؛ فإنى سمعتُ رسولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يقول: إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُدْخِلُ بِالسَّهْمِ الْجَنَّةَ مَنْ عَمِلَهُ في سَبِيلِهِ، وَمَنْ قَوَّى بِهِ في سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ".

"From Hudhayfah, who said: 'Umar wrote to the people of Sham: 'O people! Shoot arrows and ride horses, and shooting is more beloved to me than riding. For I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Indeed Allah admits by the arrow to Paradise the one who makes it in His cause, and the one who strengthens it in the cause of Allah.'"
