Hadith 7871
عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فِي رِوَايَةٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةٌ رَمْيَةُ الرَّجُلِ بِقَوْسِهِ وَتَأْدِيبُهُ فَرَسَهُ وَمُلَاعَبَتُهُ امْرَأَتَهُ فَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَمَنْ نَسِيَ الرَّمْيَ بَعْدَمَا عُلِّمَهُ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِي عُلِّمَهُ
(Second narration) The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Every play of a man is false) except for three things: a man shooting arrows with his bow, training his horse, and playing with his wife—these are matters of truth. And whoever learns archery and then forgets it, he is ungrateful for what he had learned.
عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ 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
Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every thing with which a person plays is falsehood, except that a man shoots arrows with a bow, trains his horse in the etiquettes of battle, or plays with his wife for amusement—these three games are permissible. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever, after learning archery, forgets it, has shown ingratitude for the blessing that was granted to him.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the people of Habsha were playing with weapons on the day of Eid in the presence of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I was also watching the play over the shoulders of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) lowered his shoulders for me, so I kept watching their play over his shoulders until I moved back of my own accord.
