من تعلم الرمي ثم تركه، كانت (نعمة) يكفرها
Whoever learns archery and then abandons it, it is a blessing he has been ungrateful for
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 28007 — Whoever learns archery and then
٢٨٠٠٧ - حدثنا عبد الرحيم بن سليمان عن (عبد اللَّه) (١) بن سعيد عن أبيه عن (ابن) (٢) أبي حدرد الأسلمي قال: مر رسول اللَّه ﷺ بناس من أسلم وهم يتناضلون، فقال: "ارموا يا بني اسماعيل، فإن أباكم كان راميًا، ارموا وأنا مع ابن ⦗٤٢٢⦘ الأدرع"، فأمسك القوم بأيديهم فقال: "ما لكم لا ترمون؟ " قالوا: يا رسول اللَّه أنرمي وقد قلت أنا مع ابن الأدرع وقد علمنا أن حزبك لا يغلب؟ قال: "ارموا وأنا معكم كلكم" (٣).
Sayyiduna Ibn Abi Hadrad al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by some people of the tribe of Aslam while they were competing with one another in archery. At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Banu Isma'il, practise archery, for your father too was an archer. Shoot, and I am with Ibn al-Adra'." So the people held back their hands. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is the matter with you that you are not shooting?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), how can we shoot when you (peace and blessings be upon him) have said that you (peace and blessings be upon him) are with Ibn al-Adra', and we know for certain that your (peace and blessings be upon him) army can never be defeated?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shoot; I am with you all."
