Hadith 12982

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، حَدَّثَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ مَعَ جَدِّي دَارَ الْإِمَارَةِ ، فَإِذَا دَجَاجَةٌ مَصْبُورَةٌ تُرْمَى ، فَكُلَّمَا أَصَابَهَا سَهْمٌ صَاحَتْ ، فَقَالَ : " نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تُصْبَرَ الْبَهَائِمُ " .
Hisham bin Zaid says that once I entered the governor's house with my grandfather, where a chicken was tied up and people were shooting at it for target practice. Whenever an arrow hit it, the chicken would scream. Upon seeing this, my grandfather said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade using a tied animal for target practice.
