English translation

3416. It was narrated from Al-Aswad bin Tha'labah, from 'Ubādah bin Aṣ-Ṣāmit, who said: "I taught some of Ahl Aṣ-Ṣuffah the Qur'ān and to write, and one of them gave me a bow. I said: 'It is not (a great amount of) wealth, and I may shoot with it in the cause of Allāh. I shall go to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and ask him.' So I went to him and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, one of the men whom I taught Qur'ān and to write has given me a bow, and it is not (a great amount of) wealth, and I may shoot with it in the cause of Allāh, the Most High. He said: 'If you would like to have a collar of fire tied to your neck then accept it.'" (Hasan)

3416 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، وَحُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرُّوَاسِيُّ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ نُسَيٍّ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، قَالَ: عَلَّمْتُ نَاسًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الصُّفَّةِ الْكِتَابَ، وَالْقُرْآنَ فَأَهْدَى إِلَيَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ قَوْسًا فَقُلْتُ: لَيْسَتْ بِمَالٍ وَأَرْمِي عَنْهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، لَآتِيَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَأَسْأَلَنَّهُ فَأَتَيْتُهُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، رَجُلٌ أَهْدَى إِلَيَّ قَوْسًا مِمَّنْ كُنْتُ أُعَلِّمُهُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْقُرْآنَ، وَلَيْسَتْ بِمَالٍ وَأَرْمِي عَنْهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ تُطَوَّقَ طَوْقًا مِنْ نَارٍ فَاقْبَلْهَا»،
