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)

Arabic text

2157 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُغِيرَةُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ الْمَوْصِلِيُّ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ نُسَيٍّ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، قَالَ: عَلَّمْتُ نَاسًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الصُّفَّةِ الْقُرْآنَ وَالْكِتَابَةَ، فَأَهْدَى إِلَيَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ قَوْسًا، فَقُلْتُ: لَيْسَتْ بِمَالٍ، وَأَرْمِي عَنْهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْهَا، فَقَالَ: «إِنْ سَرَّكَ أَنْ تُطَوَّقَ بِهَا طَوْقًا مِنْ نَارٍ فَاقْبَلْهَا»
