Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ وَخَلَفُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرَهْطٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ وَقَدْ نَصَبُوا حَمَامَةً يَرْمُونَهَا فَقَالَ لَا تَتَّخِذُوا شَيْئًا فِيهِ الرُّوحُ غَرَضًا.
English Translation
The Prophet (peace be upon him) passed by a group of the Ansar who had set up a pigeon as a target and were shooting at it. He said: 'Do not take any living creature as a target.'
