حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحِ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شَمَاسَةَ

أَنَّ فُقَيْمًا اللَّخْمِيَّ، قَالَ لِعُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ تَخْتَلِفُ بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ الْغَرَضَيْنِ وَأَنْتَ كَبِيرٌ يَشُقُّ عَلَيْكَ. قَالَ عُقْبَةُ لَوْلَا كَلَامٌ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ أُعَانِهِ. قَالَ الْحَارِثُ فَقُلْتُ لاِبْنِ شُمَاسَةَ وَمَا ذَاكَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ قَالَ: «مَنْ عَلِمَ الرَّمْىَ ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا أَوْ قَدْ عَصَى»

It has been reported by Abd al-Rahman ibn Shamasa that Fuqaim al- Lakhmi said to Uqbah ibn Amir: You frequent between these two targets and you are an old man, so you will be finding it very hard.

Uqba said: But for a thing I heard from the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), I would not strain myself. Harith (one of the narrators in the chain of transmitters) said: I asked Ibn Shamasa: What was that?

He said that he (the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) said: Who learnt archery and then gave it up is not from us. or he has been guilty of disobedience (to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)).

মুহাম্মাদ ইবনুল মুসান্না (রহঃ) ..... 'আলকামাহ (রহঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি সিরিয়ায় পৌছে আবূদ দারদা (রাযিঃ) এর সাথে সাক্ষাৎ করলাম। ..... হাদীসের অবশিষ্ট বর্ণনা ইবনু উলাইয়্যাহ (রাযিঃ)-এর বর্ণিত হাদীসের অনুরূপ। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১৭৮৯, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

عبد الاعلیٰ نے کہا : ہم سے داودنے عامر ( شعبی ) سے اور انھوں نے علقمہ سے روا یت کی ، انھوں نے کہا : میں شام آیا اور حضرت ابو درداء رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے ملا ۔ ۔ ۔ ۔ آگے ابن علیہ ( اسماعیل بن ابرا ہیم ) کی ( مذکورہ با لا ) حدیث کی طرح بیا ن کیا ۔

{….} Bize, Muhammedü'bnü'l-Müsennâ rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bana Abdil a'Iâ rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Dâvûd, Âmir'den, o da Alkame'den nsklen rivayet etti. Âlkame : «Ben, Şam'a gelerek Ebû'd-Derdâ'ya tesadüf ettim...» diyerek İbni Ubeyye hadîsi gibi rivâyetde bulunmuş

What it means

Whoever learns archery (shooting arrows) or the like, such as shooting with bullets in our present time, for the sake of Allah, then stops practicing it, has indeed exposed himself to bearing a sin for that and has strayed from the guidance of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). The narrator used "is not one of us", and "has indeed disobeyed" because he was uncertain of the exact wording of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
