Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ قَالَ مَرَّ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَلَى أُنَاسٍ قَدْ وَضَعُوا حَمَامَةً يَرْمُونَهَا فَقَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُتَّخَذَ الرُّوحُ غَرَضًا.
English Translation
Ibn Abbas passed by some people who had placed a pigeon as a target to shoot at. He said: 'The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) forbade taking any living creature as a target.'
