English translation

2513. It was reported from ‘Uqbah bin ‘Āmir, who said: “I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: ‘Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, will admit three people into Paradise by one arrow: The one made it and seeks good (in reward) by his making it; the one who shoots it, and the one who hands it to him. So shoot and ride, but your shooting is dearer to me than your riding. Every kind of amusement is futile except three: A man’s training his horse, playing with his wife, and his shooting with his bow and arrow. A person who abandons shooting after learning it, out of an aversion for it, then it is a favor he has abandoned” or he said: “(it is a favor) for which he was ungrateful.” (Ḥasan)

2513 - حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَّامٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُدْخِلُ بِالسَّهْمِ الْوَاحِدِ ثَلَاثَةَ نَفَرٍ الْجَنَّةَ، صَانِعَهُ يَحْتَسِبُ فِي صَنْعَتِهِ الْخَيْرَ، وَالرَّامِيَ بِهِ، وَمُنْبِلَهُ. وَارْمُوا، وَارْكَبُوا، وَأَنْ تَرْمُوا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَرْكَبُوا. لَيْسَ مِنَ اللَّهْوِ إِلَّا ثَلَاثٌ: تَأْدِيبُ الرَّجُلِ فَرَسَهُ، وَمُلَاعَبَتُهُ أَهْلَهُ، وَرَمْيُهُ بِقَوْسِهِ وَنَبْلِهِ، وَمَنْ تَرَكَ الرَّمْيَ بَعْدَ مَا عَلِمَهُ رَغْبَةً عَنْهُ، فَإِنَّهَا نِعْمَةٌ تَرَكَهَا «، أَوْ قَالَ» كَفَرَهَا "
