Bayhaqi 19729 — Encouragement of archery

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا ابْنُ مِلْحَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى هُوَ ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنِي الْحَارِثُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شَمَاسَةَ، أَنَّ فَقِيمًا اللَّخْمِيَّ، قَالَ لِعُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ: تَخْتَلِفُ بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ ⦗٢٣⦘ الْغَرَضَيْنِ، وَأَنْتَ كَبِيرٌ، يَشُقُّ عَلَيْكَ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ عُقْبَةُ: لَوْلَا كَلَامٌ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ أُعَانِهِ قَالَ: الْحَارِثُ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ شَمَاسَةَ: وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ: " إِنَّهُ مَنْ عَلِمَ الرَّمْيَ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ تَرَكَهُ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا، أَوْ قَدْ عَصَى ". رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ.
It is narrated from Abd al-Rahman bin Shumasah (may Allah have mercy on him) that Fuqaym al-Lakhmi said to Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him): You go back and forth between these two targets though you are old, and it is hard on you. Sayyiduna Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Had I not heard these words from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I would not take this trouble upon myself. Al-Harith said that Ibn Shumasah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: What is that? He said that (the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said): "Whoever, after coming to know archery or learning it, abandons it is not one of us," or he said: "He has disobeyed."
