Prohibition of Pointing with a Weapon at another Brother in Faith

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ‏:‏ “لا يُشر أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى أَخِيهِ بِالسِّلاَحِ، فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَدْرِي لَعَلَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَنْزِعُ فِي يَدِهِ، فَيَقَعُ فِي حُفْرَةٍ مِنَ النَّارِ‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِمُسْلِمٍ قَالَ‏:‏ قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏:‏ “مَنْ أَشَارَ إِلَى أَخِيهِ بِحَدِيدَةٍ، فَإِنَّ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ تَلْعَنُهُ، حَتَّى ينزع وَإِنْ كَانَ أَخَاهُ لأَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ‏"‏‏.‏ قوله صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ينزِع‏"‏ ضبط بالعين المهملة مع كسر الزاي، وبالغين المعجمة مع فتحها، ومعناهما متقارب، ومعناه بالمهملة يرمي، وبالمعجمة أيضًا يرمي ويفسد، وأصل النزع الطعن والفساد‏.‏

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "None of you should point at his brother with a weapon because he does not know that Satan may make it lose from his hand and, as a result, he may fall into a pit of Hell-fire (by accidentally killing him)." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. The narration in Muslim is: Abul-Qasim (i.e., the Messenger of Allah) (ﷺ) said, "He who points at his (Muslim) brother with a weapon is cursed by the angels even if the other person should be his real brother."
