"عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُتْبَةِ بْنِ عَبْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: دَعَانِى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا غُلامًا حَدِثُ فَقَالَ: مَا اسْمُكَ؟ قلْتُ: عَتْلَةُ بْنُ عَبْدٍ، قَالَ: بَلْ أَنْتَ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ عَبْدٍ، وَقَالَ: أَرِنِى سَيْفَكَ، فَسَلَّهُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَا رَآهَ رَأَى فِيهِ رِقَّةَ وَضَعْفًا، قَالَ: لا تَضْرِبَ بِهَذَا وَلَكِنْ اطْعُنْ بِهَا طَعْنًا، وَقَالَ رَسولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ قُرَيْظةَ وَالنَّضِير: مَنْ أَدْخَلَ هَذَا الحصْنِ سَهْمًا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ، قَالَ عُتْبَةُ: فأَدْخَلْتُ ثَلاثَةَ أَسْهُمٍ".

“Yahya ibn ‘Utbah ibn ‘Abd narrated from his father: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called me when I was a young boy and said: ‘What is your name?’ I said: ‘Atlah ibn ‘Abd.’ He said: ‘Rather, you are ‘Utbah ibn ‘Abd.’ He said: ‘Show me your sword.’ So I drew it, and he looked at it, and when he saw it he saw in it thinness and weakness. He said: ‘Do not strike with this, but thrust with it, a thrust.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the day of Qurayzah and al-Nadir: ‘Whoever shoots an arrow into this fortress, Paradise is due to him.’ ‘Utbah said: ‘So I shot three arrows.’”
