عَن أبي هُرَيْرَة رضي اللّه عَنْه عَنْ رَسُولِ اللّه صَلّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم قَال: «لا يشِرْ أحَدُكُمْ إلَى أخِيهِ بِالسِّلاحِ، فَإنَّهُ لا يَدْرِي لَعَلَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَنْزِعُ في يَدِهِ، فَيَقَعَ في حُفْرَةٍ من النَّارِ» متفقٌ عليهِ. وفي رِوَايةٍ لِمُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: قَالَ أبُو الْقَاسِمِ صَلّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم: «مَنْ أشارَ إلَى أخيهِ بِحَدِيدَةٍ، فَإنَّ المَلائِكةَ تَلْعنُهُ حتَّى يَنْزِعَ، وإنْ كَان أخَاهُ لأبِيهِ وأُمِّهِ»
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "Let none of you point a weapon at his brother, for he does not know — perhaps Satan may cause it to slip from his hand, and he would fall into a pit of the Fire." Agreed upon (al-Bukhari and Muslim). In a narration of Muslim he said: Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever points a piece of iron at his brother, the angels curse him until he desists, even if he be his brother by his father and mother."
الشرح · explanation
يَنْزِع: معناه يَرْمِي وَيُفْسِدُ، وَأَصْلُ النَّزْعِ: الطَّعنُ وَالْفَسَادُ. إلى أخيه: أي المسلم، ومثله الذمي فيحرم ترويعه بالسلاح، وهو ما يقاتل به في الحرب ويدافع به. فيقع: أي يسقط السلاح المشهر بسبب ذلك.
"Yanzi' [causes to slip]": it means to cast [the weapon] and cause harm; the root of naz' is thrusting and corruption. "At his brother": that is, the Muslim; and likewise the dhimmi (a protected non-Muslim). It is forbidden to terrify him with a weapon — that is, whatever is used to fight and defend with in war. "And he would fall (fa-yaqa')": that is, the brandished weapon drops as a result of that.
الدروس · lessons
حرص الإسلام على سلامة الإنسان وحفظ كرامته. النهي عن ترويع المسلم سواء كان هزلًا أو جدًا، لأنّ ترويعه حرام مطلقًا، ولأنّ السلاح قد يسبقه.
Islam's keenness on the safety of the human being and the preservation of his dignity. The prohibition of frightening a Muslim, whether in jest or in earnest, for frightening him is absolutely forbidden, and because the weapon may get the better of him.
