Sunan Abi Dawud 2663 (Book 15, Hadith 187) #22953
Sparing Use of Arrows in Battle

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad advised his followers to use arrows sparingly during battle.

Abu Usaid reported the Apostle of Allaah as saying to us at the battle of Badr when he drew up in rows. When they came near you, shoot arrows at them, but do not use all your arrows.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ الْغَسِيلِ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ حِينَ اصْطَفَفْنَا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ ‏ "‏ إِذَا أَكْثَبُوكُمْ - يَعْنِي إِذَا غَشُوكُمْ - فَارْمُوهُمْ بِالنَّبْلِ وَاسْتَبْقُوا نَبْلَكُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
During the battle of Badr, the Prophet Muhammad instructed his followers to shoot arrows at their enemies but not to use all their arrows. This hadith teaches us that we should be wise and judicious with our resources, even in times of war. We should not waste our resources or use them recklessly, as this could lead to a loss of life and property. Instead, we should be mindful and careful with how we use our resources so that they can be used for the benefit of all people involved in a conflict.

The Prophet Muhammad also taught us that it is important to think before acting in any situation, especially during times of conflict or war. We must consider the consequences before taking any action so that we can make sure it is beneficial for everyone involved. This hadith reminds us that even when faced with difficult situations such as war, it is important to remain level-headed and think through our decisions carefully before taking action.
