حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُغِيرَةُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ نُسَيٍّ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ قَالَ: عَلَّمْتُ نَاسًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الصُّفَّةِ الْكِتَابَةَ وَالْقُرْآنَ، فَأَهْدَى إِلَيَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ قَوْسًا فَقُلْتُ: لَيْسَتْ لِي بِمَالٍ، وَأَرْمِي عَنْهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " إِنْ سَرَّكَ أَنْ تُطَوَّقَ بِهَا طَوْقًا مِنْ نَارٍ فَاقْبَلْهَا " (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that I taught some people from among the Ahl-e-Suffah to write and to recite the Holy Qur'an. One of them presented me with a bow as a gift. I thought to myself that I do not possess wealth, so I will use this for archery in the path of Allah. Then I asked the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) about this matter. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: If you like that a collar of fire should be placed around your neck, then by all means accept it.
