حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَنْبَارِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَسِيرُونَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَنَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ ، فَانْطَلَقَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى حَبْلٍ مَعَهُ ، فَأَخَذَهُ فَفَزِعَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يُرَوِّعَ مُسْلِمًا " .
Narrated Abdur Rahman ibn Abu Layla: The Companions of the Prophet ﷺ told us that they were travelling with the Prophet ﷺ. A man of them slept, and one of them went to the rope which he had with him. He took it, by which he was frightened. The Prophet ﷺ said: It is not lawful for a Muslim that he frightens a Muslim.
