I am trying to find any hadiths that can support (and encourage) the argument for muslim men and women to learn to swim. I have found the following hadiths: > - "Teach your children swimming, archery and horse riding" > - "All things in which there is no remembrance of Allah are frivolity and idle play except for four things, and he mentioned teaching another to swim" > > > > (At-Tabarani, exact reference unknown, i.e page, book, and hadith number) I would appreciate it if someone could give an exact reference, including original Arabic, and as well as where the source is listed. **Edit** *Another source:* > “Every activity that does not contain the remembrance of Allaah is > falsehood and heedlessness, except for a man doing four things: > Walking between two purposeful goals, grooming his horse, playing with > his family, or teaching someone to swim.” According the following website : > An authentic hadeeth, with varying but similar wordings, collected by > Ahmad (4/144,146,148,222), Aboo Daawood (3/13), Ibn Maajah (2/940), > Ad-Daarimee (2/204-205), Al-Haakim (2/95), Al-Bayhaqee (10/13,14,218), > and many others Again, I would appreciate if someone could guide me towards confirming these sources.
