Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ، ثُمَامَةَ بْنِ شُفَىٍّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ وَأَعِدُّوا لَهُمْ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ أَلاَ إِنَّ الْقُوَّةَ الرَّمْىُ أَلاَ إِنَّ الْقُوَّةَ الرَّمْىُ أَلاَ إِنَّ الْقُوَّةَ الرَّمْىُ ‏"‏

Translation

Harun ibn Maruf narrated to us: Ibn Wahb informed us: Amr ibn al-Harith informed me, from Abu Ali Thumamah ibn Shufayy, who heard Uqbah ibn Amir say: I heard the Messenger of Allah, while he was on the pulpit, say: “Prepare against them whatever strength you are able. Indeed, strength is archery. Indeed, strength is archery. Indeed, strength is archery.”
