عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ كَانَ عُقْبَةُ يَأْتِينِي فَيَقُولُ اخْرُجْ بِنَا نَرْمِي فَأَبْطَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أَوْ تَثَاقَلْتُ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُدْخِلُ بِالسَّهْمِ الْوَاحِدِ ثَلَاثَةً الْجَنَّةَ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ الْحَدِيثِ الْمُتَقَدِّمِ وَفِي آخِرِهِ وَمَنْ عَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ الرَّمْيَ فَتَرَكَهُ رَغْبَةً عَنْهُ فَنِعْمَةٌ كَفَّرَهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Khalid bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him), who says: Sayyiduna Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) would come to me and say: Come outside, let us practice archery. One day I delayed or showed laziness in coming out, so he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, Allah Almighty will admit three persons into Paradise because of a single arrow. Then he mentioned a hadith similar to the previous one, except that its last words are as follows: And whoever Allah Almighty has taught archery, but he abandons it out of disinterest, then in fact he has shown ingratitude for a blessing.
