Makhul (RAA) narrated, ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) set up the ballista while attacking the people of at-Ta’if`.’ Related by Abu Dawud with a trustworthy chain of narrators, but it is hadith Mursal. Al-'Uqayli connected it (to the Prophet (ﷺ)) with a weak chain narrated by Ali (ra).

Takhrij:
«أخرجه أبوداود في المراسيل، حديث:335، بإسناد صحيح عنه، وحديث علي: أخرجه العقيلي في الضعفاء:2 /244، وسنده ضعيف جدًا. فيه عبدالله بن خراش منكر الحديث، وللحديث شواهد مرسلة عند البيهقي:9 /84، والترمذي، الأدب، حديث:2762 ب وغيرهما.»©Explanation:
➊ The aforementioned narration is weak; however, in order to annihilate the enemy, break their strength, and weaken their military power, new methods of warfare and modern weapons and equipment should be employed, and Muslims should strive to invent ever newer implements of war.
➋ In today's era, atomic bombs and other destructive and formidable weapons should also be developed so that the awe and dominance of Muslims over the enemy may be established.
