Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa`:The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by some persons of the tribe of Aslam practicing archery (i.e. the throwing of arrows) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O offspring of Ishmael!

Salama bin Al-Akwa bataate hain: Nabi Aslam qabile ke kuch logon ke paas se guzre jo tirandaazi kar rahe the. Allah ke Rasool ne kaha, "Aye Ismail ki santaan!

Allah ke Rasool ne unse pucha, "Tum kyun nahi chalat rahe?" Unhone jawab diya, "Ya Allah ke Rasool! Hum kaise chalaen jabke aap muqaable wali team ke saath hain?" Unhone kaha, "Chalate raho, main tum sabko ke saath hoon."
