Abdullah bin Zayd reported,

Uqba bin Amir al-Juhani used to go out and shoot arrows every day, taking a companion with him. One day his companion seemed about to grow weary, so Uqba said to him, "Shall I tell you what I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?"The man replied, "Yes."Uqba said, "I heard him say, 'Allah admits three people into Paradise on account of a single arrow. Its maker, who intends good in its crafting, the one who supplies it for the cause of Allah, and the one who shoots it in the cause of Allah.' And he said, 'Shoot and ride, but shooting is better than riding.' And he said, 'Everything with which a son of Adam amuses himself is vain, except for three things. A man's shooting with his bow, his training of his horse, and his playing with his wife. These belong to what is rightful.'"When Uqba died, he left behind some sixty-odd, or seventy-odd, bows, each with its quiver and arrows, and he bequeathed them all for the cause of Allah.

حدثنا عبد الرزاق أخبرنا معمر عن يحيى بن أبي كثير عن زيد بن سلام

عن عبد الله بن زيد الأزرق قال

كان عقبة بن عامر الجهني يخرج فيرمي كل يوم وكان يستتبعه فكأنه كاد أن يمل فقال ألا أخبرك بما سمعت من رسول الله ﷺ قال بلى قال سمعته يقول إن الله عز وجل يدخل بالسهم الواحد ثلاثة نفر الجنة صاحبه الذي يحتسب في صنعته الخير والذي يجهز به في سبيل الله والذي يرمي به في سبيل الله وقال ارموا واركبوا وإن ترموا خير من أن تركبوا وقال كل شيء يلهو به ابن آدم فهو باطل إلا ثلاثا رميه عن قوسه وتأديبه فرسه وملاعبته أهله فإنهن من الحق قال فتوفي عقبة وله بضع وستون أو بضع وسبعون قوسا مع كل قوس قرن ونبل وأوصى بهن في سبيل الله
