English translation

[4949] 169 - (1919) It was narrated from ‘Abdur-Raḥmân bin Shumâsah that Fuqaim Al-Lakhmî said to ‘Uqbah bin ‘Âmir: “You go between these two targets but you are an old man, and it must be difficult for you.” ‘Uqbah said: “Were it not for some words that I heard from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, I would not trouble myself.” Al-Hârith said: “I said to Ibn Shumâsah: ‘Why was that?’ He said: ‘(ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever learns archery then abandons it, he is not one of us, or, he has sinned.’”

169 - (1919) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحِ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شِمَاسَةَ، أَنَّ فُقَيْمًا اللَّخْمِيَّ، قَالَ لِعُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ: تَخْتَلِفُ بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ الْغَرَضَيْنِ وَأَنْتَ كَبِيرٌ يَشُقُّ عَلَيْكَ، قَالَ عُقْبَةُ: لَوْلَا كَلَامٌ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ أُعَانِيهِ، قَالَ الْحَارِثُ: فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِ شَمَاسَةَ: وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّهُ قَالَ: «مَنْ عَلِمَ الرَّمْيَ، ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُ، فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا» أَوْ «قَدْ عَصَى»
