"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.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُدْخِلُ بِالسَّهْمِ الْوَاحِدِ ثَلاَثَةَ نَفَرٍ الْجَنَّةَ صَانِعَهُ يَحْتَسِبُ فِي صُنْعِهِ الْخَيْرَ وَالرَّامِيَ بِهِ وَمُنَبِّلَهُ وَارْمُوا وَارْكَبُوا وَأَنْ تَرْمُوا أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَرْكَبُوا وَلَيْسَ اللَّهْوُ إِلاَّ فِي ثَلاَثَةٍ تَأْدِيبِ الرَّجُلِ فَرَسَهُ وَمُلاَعَبَتِهِ امْرَأَتَهُ وَرَمْيِهِ بِقَوْسِهِ وَنَبْلِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ الرَّمْىَ بَعْدَ مَا عَلِمَهُ رَغْبَةً عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهَا نِعْمَةٌ كَفَرَهَا أَوْ قَالَ كَفَرَ بِهَا  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Allah, Most High, will cause three persons to enter Paradise for one arrow: the maker when he has a good motive in making it, the one who shoots it, and the one who hands it; so shoot and ride, but your shooting is dearer to me than your riding. Everything with which a man amuses himself is vain except three (things): a man's training of his horse, his playing with his wife, and his shooting with his bow and arrow. If anyone abandons archery after becoming an adept through distaste for it, it is a blessing he has abandoned; or he said: for which he has been ungrateful.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ يُدْخِلُ بِالسَّهْمِ الْوَاحِدِ ثَلاَثَةَ نَفَرٍ الْجَنَّةَ صَانِعَهُ يَحْتَسِبُ فِي صَنْعَتِهِ الْخَيْرَ وَالرَّامِيَ بِهِ وَمُنْبِلَهُ وَارْمُوا وَارْكَبُوا وَأَنْ تَرْمُوا أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَرْكَبُوا لَيْسَ مِنَ اللَّهْوِ إِلاَّ ثَلاَثٌ تَأْدِيبُ الرَّجُلِ فَرَسَهُ وَمُلاَعَبَتُهُ أَهْلَهُ وَرَمْيُهُ بِقَوْسِهِ وَنَبْلِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ الرَّمْىَ بَعْدَ مَا عَلِمَهُ رَغْبَةً عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهَا نِعْمَةٌ تَرَكَهَا أَوْ قَالَ كَفَرَهَا  

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, Allah will surely admit three into Paradise by a single arrow. Its maker who seeks good by his making it, the one who shoots it, and the one who holds arrows for him." And he said: "Practice archery and practice riding, and the you should practice archery is more beloved to me than that you should ride. All idle pastimes that the Muslim man engages in are falsehood, except for his shooting of his bow, his training of his horse, and his playing with his wife, for they are from truth."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيُدْخِلُ بِالسَّهْمِ الْوَاحِدِ ثَلاَثَةً الْجَنَّةَ صَانِعَهُ يَحْتَسِبُ فِي صَنْعَتِهِ الْخَيْرَ وَالرَّامِيَ بِهِ وَالْمُمِدَّ بِهِ وَقَالَ ارْمُوا وَارْكَبُوا وَلأَنْ تَرْمُوا أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَرْكَبُوا كُلُّ مَا يَلْهُو بِهِ الرَّجُلُ الْمُسْلِمُ بَاطِلٌ إِلاَّ رَمْيَهُ بِقَوْسِهِ وَتَأْدِيبَهُ فَرَسَهُ وَمُلاَعَبَتَهُ أَهْلَهُ فَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنَ الْحَقِّ  

“Allah will admit three people to Paradise by virtue of one arrow: The one who makes it, seeking reward by making it well; the one who shoots it; and the one who hands it to him.” And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Shoot and ride, and if you shoot that is dearer to me than if you ride. All things that a Muslim man does for entertainment are in vain except for shooting arrows, training his horse and playing with his wife, for these are things that bring reward.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2811)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُدْخِلُ الثَّلَاثَةَ بِالسَّهْمِ الْوَاحِدِ الْجَنَّةَ صَانِعَهُ يَحْتَسِبُ فِي صَنْعَتِهِ الْخَيْرَ وَالْمُمِدَّ بِهِ وَالرَّامِيَ بِهِ وَقَالَ ارْمُوا وَارْكَبُوا وَأَنْ تَرْمُوا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَرْكَبُوا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ يَلْهُو بِهِ الرَّجُلُ بَاطِلٌ إِلَّا رَمْيَةَ الرَّجُلِ بِقَوْسِهِ وَتَأْدِيبَهُ فَرَسَهُ وَمُلَاعَبَتَهُ امْرَأَتَهُ فَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَمَنْ نَسِيَ الرَّمْيَ بَعْدَمَا عُلِّمَهُ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِي عُلِّمَهُ

(Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2513)   

كَانَ عُقْبَةُ يَأْتِينِي فَيَقُولُ اخْرُجْ بِنَا نَرْمِي فَأَبْطَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أَوْ تَثَاقَلْتُ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُدْخِلُ بِالسَّهْمِ الْوَاحِدِ ثَلَاثَةً الْجَنَّةَ صَانِعَهُ الْمُحْتَسِبَ فِيهِ الْخَيْرَ وَالرَّامِيَ بِهِ وَمُنْبِلَهُ فَارْمُوا وَارْكَبُوا وَلَأَنْ تَرْمُوا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مَنْ أَنْ تَرْكَبُوا وَلَيْسَ مِنَ اللهْوِ إِلَّا ثَلَاثٌ مُلَاعَبَةُ الرَّجُلِ امْرَأَتَهُ وَتَأْدِيبُهُ فَرَسَهُ وَرَمْيُهُ بِقَوْسِهِ وَمَنْ عَلَّمَهُ اللهُ الرَّمْيَ فَتَرَكَهُ رَغْبَةً عَنْهُفَنِعْمَةً كَفَرَهَا

لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَا حَدَّثَنِي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللهَ يُدْخِلُ بِالسَّهْمِ الْوَاحِدِ ثَلَاثَةَ نَفَرٍ الْجَنَّةَ صَانِعَهُ الْمُحْتَسِبَ فِي صَنَعْتِهِ الْخَيْرَ وَالرَّامِيَ بِهِ وَمُنْبِلَهُ وَقَالَ ارْمُوا وَارْكَبُوا وَلَأَنْ تَرْمُوا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَرْكَبُوا وَلَيْسَ مِنَ اللهْوِ إِلَّا ثَلَاثٌ تَأْدِيبُ الرَّجُلِ فَرَسَهُ وَمُلَاعَبَتُهُامْرَأَتَهُ وَرَمْيُهُ بِقَوْسِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ الرَّمْيَ بَعْدَمَا عُلِّمَهُ رَغْبَةً عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهَا نِعْمَةٌ تَرَكَهَا  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Everything from the pleasures of this worldly life is void, except for three things: your practice with your bow, your training of your horse, and your play with your family, as these are from what is true.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ also said, 'Practice archery and ride horses, for indeed if you practice archery, Allah will admit three into Jannah (Paradise) for the work and intention put into it - the one who shoots, the one who prepares the arrow, and the one who carries the arrow.'"

This is a saying of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ mentioned in Sahih Muslim.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْ لَهُوِ الدُّنْيَا بَاطِلٌ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةٌ انْتِضَالُكَ بِقَوْسِكَ وَتَأْدِيبُكَ فَرَسَكَ وَمُلَاعَبَتُكَ أَهْلَكَ فَإِنَّهَا مِنَ الْحَقِّ» وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «انْتَضِلُوا وَارْكَبُوا وَإِنْ تَنْتَضِلُوا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيُدخِلُ بِالسَّهْمِ الْوَاحِدِ ثَلَاثَةً الْجَنَّةَ صَانِعَهُ يَحْتَسِبُ فِيهِ الْخَيْرَ وَالْمُتَنَبِّلُ وَالرَّامِيَ بِهِ» على شرط مسلم  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Verily, Allah can admit a person into heaven with just one arrow. Its maker will have good intentions in making it, the one who shoots it, and the one who guides it." He also said, "Throw and ride, and I prefer that you throw rather than ride. Everything that a person engages in for amusement is futile, except for his training with his horse, shooting arrows with his bow, and interacting with his spouse."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَيُدْخِلُ بِالسَّهْمِ الْوَاحِدِ الْجَنَّةَ صَانِعَهُ يَحْتَسِبُ فِي صَنْعَتِهِ الْخَيْرَ وَالرَّامِيَ بِهِ وَالْمُهْدِيَ بِهِ» وَقَالَ «ارْمُوا وَارْكَبُوا وَأَنْ تَرْمُوا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَرْكَبُوا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ يَلْهُو بِهِ الرَّجُلُ فَهُوَ بَاطِلٌ إلَّا تَأْدِيبَهُ فَرَسَهُ وَرَمْيَهُ بِقَوْسِهِ وَمُلَاعَبَتَهُ امْرَأَتَهُ»  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Allah, Most High, will cause three persons to enter Paradise for one arrow: the maker when he has a good motive in making it, the one who shoots it, and the one who hands it; so shoot and ride, but your shooting is dearer to me than your riding.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrated to me, or I say to you as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, Allah admits into Paradise by a single arrow three individuals: the maker of the arrow, the one who sharpens it, and the one who shoots it. And throwing an arrow is more beloved to me than riding on a mount. And there are only three things from which there is no diversion from Allah: the training of a man on his horse, the playfulness of his wife, and his shooting with his arrows from his bow. And whoever learns how to shoot and then leaves it, then it is a grace that he has disbelieved in."  

حَدَّثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْ أَقُولُ لَكَ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُدْخِلُ بِالسَّهْمِ الْوَاحِدِ ثَلَاثَةَ نَفَرٍ الْجَنَّةَ صَانِعَهُ الَّذِي احْتَسَبَ فِي صَنْعَتِهِ الْخَيْرَ وَمُنْبِلَهُ وَالرَّامِيَ ارْمُوا وَارْكَبُوا وَإِنْ تَرْمُوا أَحَبُّ إِلِيَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَرْكَبُوا وَلَيْسَ مِنَ اللهْوِ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةٌ تَأْدِيبُ الرَّجُلِ فَرَسَهُ وَمُلَاعَبَتُهُ زَوْجَتَهُ وَرَمْيُهُ بِنَبْلِهِ عَنْ قَوْسِهِ وَمَنْ عَلِمَ الرَّمْيَ ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُ فَهِيَ نِعْمَةٌ كَفَرَهَا وَكَذَلِكَ

Its maker who seeks good by his making it, the one who shoots it, and the one who holds arrows for him."

All idle pastimes that the Muslim man engages in are falsehood, except for his shooting of his bow, his training of his horse, and his playing with his wife, for they are from truth." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1637)   

"إِنَّ الله لَيُدْخِلُ بالسَّهُمِ الْوَاحِدِ ثلاثَةً الْجَنَّةَ: صَانِعَه يَحْتَسِبُ في صَنْعَتِهِ الْخَيرَ، والرَّامِي بهِ، والْمُمِدَّ بِه، ارْمُوا وارْكَبُوا، وَلأَنْ تَرْمُوا أَحَبُّ إِليَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَرْكبُوا، كُلُّ مَا يَلْهُو بِه الرَّجلُ الْمُسلِمُ بَاطِلٌ إلا رَمْيَهُ بقَوْسِهِ، أَوْ تَأْدِيبَهُ فَرَسَهُ، أَوْ مُلَاعَبَتَهُ أَهْلَهُ فَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنَ الْحَقِّ، ومَنْ عَلِمَ الرَّمْيَ ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُ فَهِيَ نِعْمَةٌ كَفَرَها".

(Using translation from Nasāʾī 3578)   

"إِنَّ الله تَعَالى يُدْخِلُ بالسَّهْم الْوَاحِدِ ثلاثَةِ نَفَرٍ الْجَنَّةَ: صَانِعَهُ يَحْتَسِبُ في صَنْعَتِه الْخَيرَ، والرَّامِى به، ومُنَبِّلَهُ وارمُوا، واركَبُوا، وأنْ تَرْمُوا أحَبُّ إِليَّ مِنْ أن تَركَبُوا، لَيسَ مِنَ اللَّهو إلا ثَلاثٌ: تَأدِيبُ الرَّجُلِ فَرَسَهُ، وَمُلاعَبَتُهُ أَهْلَهُ، ورَمْيُهُ بقَوْسِهِ ونَبْلهِ، وَمَنْ تَرَك الرَّمْى بَعْدَ ما عَلِمَهُ رغْبَةً عَنْهُ فإِنّها نِعْمَةٌ تَرَكها".  

"ارموا واركبوا، وأنْ ترمُوا أَحبُّ إليّ مِنْ أنْ تركبوا، كُل شيْءٍ يلهو به الرجلُ باطلٌ إِلا رَمْيَ الرَّجُل بقوْسِه، أو تأَديبَه فرسه، أو مُلاعبتَه امرأته؛ فإِنَّهنَّ مِن الحق، ومن ترك الرمي بعدما علمه فقد كفر (الذي علمه) ".  

"كُلُّ شيْءٍ مِنْ لَهُو الدُّنْيَا بَاطِلٌ إِلَّا ثَلاثَةً: انْتِضَالكَ بِقَوْسك، وَتَأديبَكَ فَرَسَكَ، وَملاعَبَتَكَ أهْلَكَ، فَإِنَّهَا مِنَ الْحَقِّ، انْتَضِلُوا وَارْكَبوا وَأن تَنْتَضلُوا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ، إِنَّ الله لَيدْخِلُ بِالسَّهْم الْوَاحِدِ ثَلاثَةً الْجَنَّةَ، صَانِعُه يَحْتَسِبُ فِيهِ الخَير، وَالمُمِدُّ بِه, وَالرَّامِى".
