من تعلم الرمي ثم تركه، كانت (نعمة) يكفرها

Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 28009 — Whoever learns archery and then
٢٨٠٠٩ - حدثنا يزيد بن هارون قال: أخبرنا (١) الدستوائي عن يحيى بن أبي كثير عن أبي سلام عن عبد اللَّه بن الأزرق عن عقبة بن عامر الجهني عن النبي ﷺ قال: "إن اللَّه ليدخل بالسهم الواحد الثلاثة الجنة: صانعه يحتسب في صنعته الخير، والرامي به، والممد به"، (وقال) (٢): "ارموا واركبوا، وإن ترموا أحبُّ إليّ من أن تركبوا، وكل ما يلهو به المرء المسلم باطل إلا رميه بقوسه، وتأديبه فرسه، وملاعبته أهله، فإنهن من الحق" (٣).
Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty will admit three people to Paradise because of a single arrow: its maker, who made it hoping for reward; the one who shoots it; and the one who hands it to him." And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Practise archery and riding. And your practising archery is dearer to me than your riding. And every amusement with which a Muslim man occupies himself is vain, except his shooting arrows with his bow, or training his horse, or enjoying himself with his wife; for all of these things are part of what is right."
