Hadith 1248

Saeed bin Jubair says that Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) passed by some young men of the Quraish who had tied a bird and made it a target, and they were shooting arrows at it. They had an agreement with the owner of the bird that whoever missed the target, the owner would take that arrow. When those people saw Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), they moved away. Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "Who has done this? May Allah's curse be upon the one who has done this. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who makes a living thing a target."
