Ahmad and Abu Dawud transmitted it. In al-Masabih it is given in mursal form.
‘Ubada b. as-Samit told that he said, “Messenger of God, one of those whom I have been teaching the Book and the Qur’an has presented me with a bow, and as it cannot be reckoned property may I shoot with it in God's path?"
