262. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Al-Waleed, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub who said
Kumeyt chanted some poems to Abu Abdullah (asws), so he said: ‘May Allah (azwj) Make my desires sincere to me so I do not pull the string of my bow, and my arrows do not waver’. So Abu Abdullah (asws) said; ‘Do not say like this, ‘I do not pull the string of my bow’, but say, ‘So I have pulled the string of my bow and my arrows do not waver’.
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ
أَنْشَدَ الْكُمَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) شِعْراً فَقَالَ: أَخْلَصَ اللَّهُ لِي هَوَايَ فَمَا أُغْرِقُ نَزْعاً وَ لَا تَطِيشُ سِهَامِي فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) لَا تَقُلْ هَكَذَا فَمَا أُغْرِقُ نَزْعاً وَ لَكِنْ قُلْ فَقَدْ أُغْرِقَ نَزْعاً وَ لَا تَطِيشُ سِهَامِي.
