Hadith 1958
وحَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ ، وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِي كَامِلٍ ، قَالا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : مَرَّ ابْنُ عُمَرَ بِنَفَرٍ قَدْ نَصَبُوا دَجَاجَةً يَتَرَامَوْنَهَا ، فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ابْنَ عُمَرَ تَفَرَّقُوا عَنْهَا ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ : " مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا ؟ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَعَنَ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا " .
Sa'id bin Jubair reported that Ibn 'Umar happened to pass by a party of men who had tied a hen and were shooting arrows at it. As soon as they saw Ibn 'Umar, they scattered from it. Ibn 'Umar (RA) said: Who has done this? Verily Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has invoked curse upon him who does this.

وحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : مَرَّ ابْنُ عُمَر بِفِتْيَانٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ قَدْ نَصَبُوا طَيْرًا وَهُمْ يَرْمُونَهُ ، وَقَدْ جَعَلُوا لِصَاحِبِ الطَّيْرِ كُلَّ خَاطِئَةٍ مِنْ نَبْلِهِمْ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ابْنَ عُمَرَ تَفَرَّقُوا ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ : " مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا ؟ لَعَنِ اللَّهُ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَعَنَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ شَيْئًا فِيهِ الرُّوحُ غَرَضًا " .
Sa'id bin Jubair reported that Ibn 'Umar happened to pass by some young men of the Quraish who had tied a bird (and this made it a target) at which they had been shooting arrows. Every arrow that they missed came into the possession of the owner of the bird. So no sooner did they see Ibn 'Umar they went away. Ibn 'Umar said: Who has done this? Allah has cursed him who does this. Verily Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) invoked curse upon one who made a live thing the target (of one's marksmanship).

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Allah, the Exalted, is Himself merciful and commands others to show mercy as well. Thus, the noble statement of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is:
"Allah has made excellence (ihsan) obligatory upon everything. Therefore, when you kill, kill in the best manner, and when you slaughter an animal, slaughter it in the best manner. So, let one of you sharpen his knife and let him give comfort to his sacrificial animal." (Sahih Muslim, al-Sayd wa’l-Dhaba’ih, Hadith: 5055 (1955))
(2)
To tie up any animal and then kill it is to inflict pain upon it, which is not permitted in the Shari‘ah.
