I said to myself, "This is not really wealth, and I can shoot with it in the path of Allah . I will go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and ask him about it."So I came to him and said, "Messenger of Allah, a man whom I had been teaching to read and write and recite the Quran has given me a bow as a gift. It is not wealth, and I can shoot with it in the path of Allah."He replied, "If you would like to be encircled with a collar of fire, then accept it."
