عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ 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 وَإِنَّ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ يَلْهُو بِهِ الرَّجُلُ بَاطِلٌ إِلَّا رَمْيَةَ الرَّجُلِ بِقَوْسِهِ وَتَأْدِيبَهُ فَرَسَهُ وَمُلَاعَبَتَهُ امْرَأَتَهُ فَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَمَنْ نَسِيَ الرَّمْيَ بَعْدَمَا عُلِّمَهُ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِي عُلِّمَهُ زَادَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ قَالَ فَتُوُفِّيَ عُقْبَةُ وَلَهُ بِضْعٌ وَسِتُّونَ أَوْ بِضْعٌ وَسَبْعُونَ قَوْسًا مَعَ كُلِّ قَوْسٍ قَرْنٌ وَنَبْلٌ وَأَوْصَى بِهِنَّ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Surely, Allah will admit three persons into Paradise because of a single arrow: (1) the one who makes it, intending good by making it, (2) the one who hands it over to the warrior, and (3) the one who shoots it. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Practice archery and also practice riding horses, but archery is more beloved to me than riding. And whatever things a servant plays with, all of them are false and purposeless, except for these matters: a man shooting arrows with his bow, training his horse, and playing with his wife—these matters are true. And whoever, after learning the art of archery, forgets it, he has shown ingratitude for what he was taught. In one narration it is mentioned: When Sayyiduna Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, he had sixty-four, sixty-five, or seventy-four, seventy-five bows with him, each bow with a quiver and Arabic arrows, and he had made a will regarding them that they were to be dedicated in the way of Allah.
