Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يُشِيرُ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى أَخِيهِ بِالسِّلَاحِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْرِي لَعَلَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَنْزِعُ فِي يَدِهِ فَيَقَعُ فِي حُفْرَة من النَّار»

Translation

Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of God said: ‘None of you should point a weapon at his brother, for he does not know; perhaps Satan will snatch it from his hand and cause him to fall into a pit of the Fire.’
