Qutaybah ibn Sa’īd narrated to us; Ḥātim narrated to us; from Yazīd ibn Abī ʿUbayd;
from Salamah ibn al-Akwa’ (may Allāh be pleased with him), who said: The Prophet passed by a group from the tribe of Aslam who were practicing archery. The Messenger of Allāh said: “Shoot, O sons of (the Prophet) Ismā’īl, for indeed your father was an archer, and I am ﷺ with such-and-such a group.” Then one of the two groups stopped shooting. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Why are you not shooting?” They said: “O Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ), how can we shoot while you are with them?” He said: “Shoot, for I am with all of you.”
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ
قَالَ مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ يَنْتَضِلُونَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " ارْمُوا بَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ، فَإِنَّ أَبَاكُمْ كَانَ رَامِيًا، وَأَنَا مَعَ بَنِي فُلاَنٍ ". قَالَ فَأَمْسَكَ أَحَدُ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَا لَكُمْ لاَ تَرْمُونَ ". فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، نَرْمِي وَأَنْتَ مَعَهُمْ قَالَ " ارْمُوا وَأَنَا مَعَكُمْ كُلِّكُمْ "
