Sahih al-Bukhari 3984 (Book 64, Hadith 35) #3810
Using Arrows Sparingly in Battle

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) advised his companions to use their arrows sparingly when fighting the enemy.

Narrated Usaid: On the day of Badr, Allah's Messenger said to us, "When the enemy comes near to you, shoot at them but use your arrows sparingly (so that your arrows should not be wasted).
حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجُعْفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْغَسِيلِ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ، وَالزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ ‏ "‏ إِذَا أَكْثَبُوكُمْ فَارْمُوهُمْ وَاسْتَبْقُوا نَبْلَكُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
On the day of Badr, one of the most important battles in Islamic history, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) gave his companions advice on how to fight. He told them that when they encounter the enemy, they should shoot at them with their arrows but use them sparingly so that they do not waste any of their weapons. This hadith teaches us about being wise and careful with our resources and using them only when necessary. It also shows us that even in times of war, we should still practice moderation and restraint. We should not be wasteful or reckless with our resources as this could lead to unnecessary losses or damage.
