Tirmidhi Book 47, Hadith 3083
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَمْ يُسَمِّهِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ: وَأَعِدُّوا لَهُمْ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ سورة الأنفال آية 60، قَالَ: أَلَا إِنَّ الْقُوَّةَ الرَّمْيُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، أَلَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَيَفْتَحُ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ وَسَتُكْفَوْنَ الْمُؤْنَةَ فَلَا يَعْجِزَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَلْهُوَ بِأَسْهُمِهِ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: وَقَدْ رَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، رَوَاهُ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ، وَحَدِيثُ وَكِيعٍ أَصَحُّ، وَصَالِحُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ وَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ.
Narrated 'Uqbah bin 'Amir: that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited this Ayah upon the Minbar: And make ready against them all you can of power (8:60). He said: Verily! Power is shooting - three times - Verily! Allah will open the earth for you and suffice you with supplies, so let none of you forsake practicing with his arrows.
