Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا مَرَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي مَسْجِدِنَا وَفِي سُوقِنَا وَمَعَهُ نَبْلٌ فَلْيُمْسِكْ عَلَى نِصَالِهَا أَنْ يُصِيبَ أَحَدًا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنْهَا بِشَيْءٍ»

Translation

Abu Musa reported that the Messenger of God said: ‘When one of you passes through our mosque or our market carrying arrows, let him hold their points so that none of them strikes a Muslim.’
