Uqbah bin 'Amir used to pass by me and say: 'O Khalid, let us go out and shoot arrows.' One day I came late and he said: 'O Khalid, come and I will tell you what the Messenger of Allah said.' So I went to him and he said: 'The Messenger of Allah said: Allah will admit three people to Paradise because of one arrow: The one who makes it seeking good thereby, the one who shoots it and the one who hands it to him. So shoot and ride, and if you shoot that is dearer to me than if you ride. And play is only in three things: A man training his horse, and playing with his wife, and shooting with his bow and arrow. Whoever gives up shooting after learning it because he is no longer interested in it, that is a blessing for which he is ungrateful -or that he has rejected.'

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami Ali bin Hujr berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Jarir dari Mughirah dari Asy Sya'bi dari Jabir berkata Abdullah bin 'Amru bin Haran meninggal dan meninggalkan hutang kemudian aku meminta bantuan Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menghadapi para pemilik piutang agar mereka menggugurkan sebagian hutangnya. Kemudian Jabir meminta dari mereka namun mereka menolak. Kemudian Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda kepadaku: Pergilah kemudian kelompokkan kurmamu menjadi beberapa jenis 'Ajwa` tersendiri 'Idzq bin Zaid tersendiri dan jenis-jenisnya. Kemudian kirimkan kepadaku utusan kepadaku. Jabir berkata Kemudian aku melakukannya dan Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam datang dan duduk di atasnya atau di tengahnya kemudian bersabda: Takarlah untuk orang-orang tersebut. Jabir berkata Kemudian aku menakar untuk mereka hingga memenuhi hak mereka kemudian tersisa kurmaku dan seakan-akan tidak berkurang sedikitpun.
