Abu Burdah said that Sayyiduna Sa'id bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "When I have taught my child the Qur'an, taken him on Hajj and married him off, I have fulfilled his right, and my right over him remains."

Layth said that Mujahid said: "The angels do not attend any of your amusements except racing and archery. The best sport of the believer is with the arrow and the bow."
