وفي حديثه عليه السلام :
A tradition of Amir al-mu'minin, peace be upon him, says:
كَالْيَاسِرِ الْفَالِجِ يَنْتَظِرُ أَوَّلَ فَوْزةٍ مِنْ قِدَاحِهِ..
Like the successful shooter (al-yasir al-falij) who looks forward to achieving success at his first shot.
قال: الياسرون هم الذين يتضاربون بالقداح على الجزور، والفالج: القاهر الغالب، يقال: قد فلج عليهم وفلجهم، قال الراجز:
As-Sayyid ar-Radi says: "al-ya~sirun' (pl. of al-yasir) means those who shoot with arrows on the slaughtered camel by way of gambling; while "al-falij" means successful or victorious. For example, it is said: 'falaja 'alayhim" or 'falajahum" (that is, he got victory over them or overpowered them). A poet has said by way of war recital:
* لما رأيت فالجا قد فلجا *
When I noticed a successful person securing victory.
