Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say, "Soon, several lands will be conquered at your hands, and Allah Almighty will suffice for you. Then, none of you should abandon the practice of archery (that is, learning marksmanship: with pistols, Kalashnikovs, rockets, missiles, etc.)."
