[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , threw away a Persian bow that a man had with him and then pointed to an Arabian bow and said, "With this and the spear of Qana, you will be able to conquer lands and defeat your enemies."  

الطبراني:١٤٤٨٠ – حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْعُكْبَرِيُّ ثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ التَّيْمِيُّ ثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عُوَيْمِ بْنِ سَاعِدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّه قَالَ

أَنْهَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلًا مَعَه قَوْسٌ فَارِسِيَّةٌ فَقَالَ «اطْرَحْهَا» ثُمّ أَشَارَ إِلَى الْقَوْسِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ وَقَالَ «بِهَذِه وبِرُمْحِ الْقَنَا يُمَكِّنُ لَكُم فِي الْبِلَادِ ويَنْصُرُكُمْ عَلَى عَدُوِّكُمْ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a man with a Persian bow, so he said, "Throw it away," and then he pointed to an Arabian bow and said, "With this and the spears of the Qana people, Allah will grant you victory in the lands and help you against your enemies."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a Persian bow and said, "Cursed, cursed is the one who carries it among you." He pointed towards the Arabic bow and the Qanah spears and said, "Allah will enable you to conquer lands and will grant you victory over your enemies with these." Al-Bukhari said, "The hadith narrated by 'Utba ibn 'Uwaym is not authentic."
