Saeed bin Jubair says that once I went out with Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) from his house on one of the roads of Madinah. We passed by some young men of the Quraysh who had tied a live bird and were aiming at it, and had told the owner of the bird that whoever's arrow misses, it will be yours. At this, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) became angry and said, "Who is doing this?" Immediately, all the young men scattered to the right and left. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the person who ties a living creature and makes it a target."
