حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِنَفَرٍ يَرْمُونَ ، فَقَالَ : " رَمْيًا بَنِي إِسْمَاعِيل ، فَإِنَّ أَبَاكُمْ كَانَ رَامِيًا " .
´It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said:` “The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by some people who were shooting (arrows) and said: ‘Shoot, Banu Isma’il, for your father was an archer.’”
