The Prophet ﷺ passed by some persons of the tribe of Aslam practicing archery (i.e. the throwing of arrows) Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O offspring of Ishmael! Practice archery (i.e. arrow throwing) as your father was a great archer (i.e. arrow-thrower). I am with (on the side of) the son of so-and-so-." Hearing that, one of the two teams stopped throwing. Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked them, ' Why are you not throwing?" They replied, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! How shall we throw when you are with the opposite team?" He said, "Throw, for I am with you all."
مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ يَنْتَضِلُونَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ارْمُوا بَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ فَإِنَّ أَبَاكُمْ كَانَ رَامِيًا وَأَنَا مَعَ بَنِي فُلاَنٍ قَالَ فَأَمْسَكَ أَحَدُ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا لَكُمْ لاَ تَرْمُونَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَرْمِي وَأَنْتَ مَعَهُمْ قَالَ ارْمُوا وَأَنَا مَعَكُمْ كُلِّكُمْ
