عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ عَلَّمْتُ نَاسًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الصُّفَّةِ الْكِتَابَةَ وَالْقُرْآنَ فَأَهْدَى إِلَيَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ قَوْسًا فَقُلْتُ لَيْسَ لِي بِمَالٍ وَأَرْمِي عَنْهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنْ سَرَّكَ أَنْ تُطَوَّقَ بِهَا طَوْقًا مِنْ نَارٍ فَاقْبَلْهَا
Narrated from Sayyiduna Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I taught some people from among the Ahl al-Suffah writing and the Holy Qur'an. One of them gave me a bow as a gift. I thought to myself that this is not wealth for me, rather I will use it to shoot arrows in the path of Allah Almighty. So I asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you like the idea of a collar of fire being placed around your neck in exchange for it, then accept it.
