Al-FurūsiyyaIbn al-Qayyim

Abu al-Qasim al-Tabarani writes in his book The Merit of Archery:

“Chapter (1): The Virtue of Walking Between the Two Targets.” He then relates, with his chain of transmission, a report traced back to the Prophet through Abu Dharr: “Whoever walks between the two targets receives a good deed for every step he takes.”

Ibrahim al-Taymi said on the authority of his father: “I saw Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman running between the two butts in al-Mada’in, wearing only a shirt.”

Bilal ibn Saʿd said: “I encountered people who would sprint between the targets, laughing with one another; but when night came they were like monks.”

ʿUqbah ibn ʿAmir used to run between the two targets although he was an old man.

A raised report states: “The space between the two targets is a meadow from the meadows of Paradise.” ⦗2⦘

If they choose to set up only one target, that is likewise permissible, for the intended benefit is still achieved.

in al-Isaba, 1:225, and in al-Targhib wa al-Tarhib, 2:170. (1) The words “Fadl al-Ramy” (“The Merit of Archery”) as a chapter heading are missing in MS Z. The reports that follow were already cited above (pp. 51–52). (2) Al-Daylami relates it in Musnad al-Firdaws 2:43, no. 2245, through Ibn Abi Dunya’s chain from Makhul, from Abu Hurayra, as a prophetic report: “Learn archery, for the space between the two targets is a meadow from the meadows of Paradise.” Ibn Hajar judged the chain “weak and broken.” See al-Talkhis 4:182.
وقال أبو القاسم الطبراني في كتاب "فَضل الرَّمي": "باب (١): فضل المشي بين الغَرَضَيْن". ثم ذكر بإسناده عن أبي ذر يرفعه: "من مشى بين الغرضين؛ كان له بكل خطوة حسنة". وقال إبراهيم التيمي عن أبيه: "رأيت حذيفة بن اليمان يعدو بين الهدفين بالمدائن في قميص". وقال بلال بن سعد: "أدركتُ قومًا يشتدُّون بين الأغراض، يضحك بعضهم إلى بعض، فإذا كان الليل؛ كانوا رهبانًا". وكان عقبةُ بن عامر يشتدُّ بين الغرضين وهو شيخ كبير. وفي أثر مرفوع: "ما بين الغرضين روضة من رياض الجنة" (٢). وإن جعلوا غرضًا واحدًا، جاز؛ لحصول المقصود به.

(٢) أخرجه الديلمي في مسند الفردوس (٢/ ٤٣) رقم (٢٢٤٥) من طريق ابن أبي الدنيا بإسناده عن مكحول عن أبي هريرة رفعه (تعلموا الرمي، فإن ما بين الهدفين روضة من رياض الجنة). قال الحافظ ابن حجر: "وإسناده ضعيف، مع انقطاعه". انظر التلخيص (٤/ ١٨٢).
