Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ مِنْ مَنْزِلِهِ فَمَرَرْنَا بِفِتْيَانٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ قَدْ نَصَبُوا طَيْرًا وَهُمْ يَرْمُونَهُ وَقَدْ جَعَلُوا لِصَاحِبِ الطَّيْرِ كُلَّ خَاطِئَةٍ مِنْ نَبْلِهِمْ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ابْنَ عُمَرَ تَفَرَّقُوا فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ اتَّخَذَ شَيْئًا فِيهِ الرُّوحُ غَرَضًا.
English Translation
Hushaym told us; Abu Bishr informed us, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, who said: I went out with Ibn Umar from his house, and we passed by some young men of Quraysh who had set up a bird as a target and were shooting at it, and they had agreed that every arrow that missed would go to the owner of the bird. When they saw Ibn Umar, they scattered. Ibn Umar said: "Who did this? May Allah curse whoever did this! Indeed the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'May Allah curse whoever takes anything with a soul in it as a target.'"
