عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ قَالَ مَرَّ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَلَى أُنَاسٍ قَدْ وَضَعُوا حَمَامَةً يَرْمُونَهَا فَقَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُتَّخَذَ ذُو الرُّوحِ غَرَضًا
Ikrimah says: Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) passed by some people who had tied a pigeon in front of them and were shooting arrows at it. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade making any living being with a soul a target.
