English translation
2157. It was narrated that 'Ubādah bin Sāmit said: "I taught people from Ahlus-Suffah[1] the Qur'an and how to write, and one of them gave me a bow. I said: 'It is not money, and I can shoot (with it) for the sake of Allāh.' I asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about it and he said: 'If it would please you to have a necklace of fire placed around your neck, then accept it.'" (Hasan)
