Sallām ibn Mutī’ said, ‘A man said to Ayyūb al-Sakhtiyānī, ‘O Abā Bakr, ʿAmr ibn ʿUbayd has turned back from his opinion!!’ He said, ‘He has not turned back.’ He said, ‘Indeed, O Abā Bakr, he has turned back!’ Ayyūb said, ‘He has not turned back – three times – he has not turned back. Have you not heard his ﷺ saying, ‘They shoot out from the Religion just as the arrow shoots through the prey, then they do not return to it until the arrow returns to the bow string.
