[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the day of Badr, "How do you fight the people when you meet them?" Asim ibn Thabit stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, when the enemy is far from us, archery is used. When they come closer and stones can reach them, we throw stones. He took three stones in his hand and two in his belt. When they come closer and spears can reach them, we stab with spears. When the spears are cut, we fight with swords." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This is how war is waged. Whoever fights, let them fight like Asim."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ «كَيْفَ تُقَاتِلُونَ الْقَوْمَ إِذَا لَقِيتُمُوهُمْ؟» فَقَامَ عَاصِمُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِذَا كَانَ الْقَوْمُ مِنَّا حَيْثُ يَنَالُهُمُ النَّبْلُ كَانَتِ الْمُرَامَاةُ بِالنَّبْلِ فَإِذَا اقْتَرَبُوا حَتَّى يَنَالَنَا وَإِيَّاهُمُ الْحِجَارَةُ كَانَتِ الْمُرَاضَخَةُ بِالْحِجَارَةِ فَأَخَذَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَحْجَارٍ فِي يَدَهِ وحَجَرَيْنِ فِي حِزْمَتِهِ فَإِذَا اقْتَرَبُوا حَتَّى يَنَالَنَا وَإِيَّاهُمُ الرَّمَّاحُ كَانَتِ الْمُدَاعَسَةُ بِالرِّمَاحِ فَإِذَا انْقَضَتِ الرِّمَاحُ كَانَتِ الْجِلَادُ بِالسُّيُوفِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «بِهَذَا أُنْزِلَتِ الْحَرْبُ مَنْ قَاتَلَ فلْيُقَاتِلْ قِتَالَ عَاصِمٍ»
