(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
الْفَضْلُ ، حَدَّثَنَا
سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ
سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ
عِكْرِمَةَ ، قَالَ : مَرَّ
ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَلَى أُنَاسٍ قَدْ وَضَعُوا حَمَامَةً يَرْمُونَهَا ، فَقَالَ : نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أَنْ يُتَّخَذَ الرُّوحُ غَرَضًاً " .
Ikrimah says that once Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) passed by some people who had caught a pigeon and were aiming at it to practice their marksmanship. He said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade tying up any living creature and using it as a target.
