Practice archery & riding ; Seek goodness through making arrows ; Hold arrows for others ; Play with your spouse .

This hadith speaks about the rewards of practicing archery and riding. It is narrated by Abdullah bin Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Husain that the Messenger of Allah said, “Indeed, Allah will surely admit three into Paradise by a single arrow. Its maker who seeks good by his making it, the one who shoots it, and the one who holds arrows for him”. This means that if someone makes an arrow with good intentions or shoots an arrow with good intentions or even just holds arrows for someone else with good intentions then they will be rewarded in paradise. The Prophet also said “Practice archery and practice riding, and the you should practice archery is more beloved to me than that you should ride” which shows us how important these activities are in Islam. He also said “All idle pastimes that the Muslim man engages in are falsehood, except for his shooting of his bow, his training of his horse, and his playing with his wife” which shows us how important it is to engage in activities like these instead of wasting time on other things which may not be beneficial or true.
