Hadith 32205
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had an
Arabian bow in his hand, and he saw a man who had a Persian bow in
his
hand. He said: ‘What is this? Throw it away. You should use
this and
others like it, and Qana* spears. Perhaps Allah will support
His
religion thereby and enable you to conquer lands.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 24, Hadith 58

“When Mughirah bin
Shu’bah
fought alongside the Prophet (ﷺ) he would carry a spear, and
when
he would come back he would throw his spear down so that someone
would pick it up and give it back to him.” ‘Ali said to him: “I
will
tell the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about that.” He (the Prophet
(ﷺ))
said: “Do not do that, for it you do that it will not be
picked up as
a lost item to be returned.” Sunan Ibn Majah Book 24, Hadith 57

“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.” Sunan Ibn Majah Book 24, Hadith 59
