It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out while the people of the tribe of Aslam were engaged in an archery contest. He (peace and blessings be upon him) (on seeing them) said: "O children of Isma'il! Shoot, for your father (Sayyiduna Isma'il (peace be upon him)) was also an archer. Shoot, and I am with Sayyiduna Ibn al-Adra' (may Allah be pleased with him)." On hearing this, the people of the other group held back their hands and stood holding their bows, and said: (O Messenger of Allah!) Whoever you are with will surely win. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shoot, I am with all of you."
