اخبرنا ابو خليفة ، حدثنا مسدد بن مسرهد ، عن يحيى القطان ، حدثنا يزيد بن ابي عبيد ، عن سلمة بن الاكوع ، قال: خرج رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم على قوم من اسلم يتناضلون بالسوق، فقال: " ارموا بني إسماعيل، فإن اباكم كان راميا. وانا مع بني فلان" لاحد الفرقين، فامسكوا ايديهم، فقال:" ما لكم ارموا". قالوا: كيف نرمي وانت مع بني فلان؟ قال:" ارموا وانا معكم كلكم" .
Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to some people from the tribe of Aslam who were practicing archery in the market. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O children of Isma’il, shoot arrows, for your forefather was an archer. And I am with Banu so-and-so. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said this about one of the two groups, they stopped shooting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: What happened? Shoot arrows. The people said: How can we shoot when you are with Banu so-and-so? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shoot arrows, for I am with all of you.
