أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ الْبَزَّازُ، ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبُوشَنْجِيُّ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنُ عَائِشَةَ: قَالَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ بِالْحَدِيثِ: إِنَّمَا نَهَى عَنِ الْقَوْسِ الْفَارِسِيَّةِ لِأَنَّهَا إِذَا انْقَطَعَ وَتَرُهَا لَمْ يَنْتَفِعْ بِهَا صَاحِبُهَا، وَأَنَّ الْقَوْسَ الْعَرَبِيَّةَ إِذَا انْقَطَعَ وَتَرُهَا كَانَتْ لَهُ عَصًا يَدِبُّ بِهَا، قَالَ: وَكَانَتْ مَعَهُمْ رِمَاحُ خَشَبٍ، فَكَانُوا إِذَا طَعَنُوا بِهَا أَخَذَهَا الْمَطْعُونُ فَكَسَرَهَا، فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِرِمَاحِ الْقَنَا لِكَيْ إِذَا طَعَنَ الرَّجُلُ، فَأَخَذَهُ الْمَطْعُونُ انْثَنَى، وَلَمْ يَنْكَسِرْ، وَكَانَتْ تُحْمَلُ مِنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ ".
Abu Abd al-Rahman Ibn A'ishah (may Allah have mercy on him) said that the scholars of hadith said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the Persian bow only because when the string of a Persian bow breaks, its owner cannot benefit from it, but when the string of an Arabic bow breaks, he uses it as a staff to walk with. They had wooden spears; when one was struck with them, the other would grab it and break it. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) called for spears that would bend but not break, and these were brought from Bahrain.
