Muslim

Hadith Commentary:
The honor and sanctity of a Muslim is, in any case, paramount, and the blood of a Muslim holds great value in the sight of Allah.
This is the very reason that people have been instructed that when they come to the mosque or the marketplace, they should not go out carrying bare weapons.
In one narration it is stated:
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) repeated this phrase three times: that he should hold the tip (of the weapon).
(Fath al-Bari: 1/708)

Hadith Commentary:

From all these ahadith, it is evident how severely the Noble Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) viewed the shedding of innocent blood, to the extent that at every step he instructed the utmost caution in this matter.

If only Muslims had remembered these ahadith in the same way they have observed certain other rulings, and refrained from mutual killing and bloodshed, then the condition of the community would not have deteriorated to such an extent. But, alas, today as a result of these internal conflicts, Muslims have been divided into hundreds of factions, tearing apart their own strength.

If only these words could penetrate the heart of any brother with a heart.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
It is also necessary to avoid anything that leads to a prohibited act, because intending a forbidden act or falling into it unintentionally—one must exercise caution regarding both.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) commanded that person to cover the tips of his arrows, because in a crowd, if arrows are exposed, there is a risk of people getting scratched. Therefore, it is prohibited to walk in open markets or gatherings carrying uncovered arrows.
In the present era, the same ruling applies to weapons: they should be kept locked, and their barrels should be pointed upwards, so that if, for any reason, they are fired, no harm comes to anyone.

➋
All these ahadith indicate how gravely the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) viewed the shedding of innocent blood, but when the times are filled with tribulations (fitan), even greater caution is required.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) repeatedly instructed utmost caution at every step.
Muslims should not shatter their own strength by killing and fighting amongst themselves.
Another hadith further clarifies this matter: the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) once passed by a gathering where people were exchanging unsheathed swords with one another.
He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Have I not forbidden you from this? When one of you wants to hand a sword to another, he should first put it in its sheath, then give it to his brother.”
(Musnad Ahmad: 3/347)
In another narration:
“The angels curse the one who points a naked weapon at another, even if he is his real brother.”
(Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi, Al-Fitan, Hadith: 2162)
When even pointing a weapon is a cause for curse, then how grave a crime it must be to actually harm another Muslim with it.
In any case, whether this is done seriously or in jest, the ahadith contain very stern warnings regarding it.
(Fath al-Bari: 13/32)

Benefits and Issues:
➊
Charity (sadaqah) is not limited to wealth alone.
Rather, every beneficial thing can be given as charity.
An arrow or weapon useful in jihad can also be distributed as charity.

➋
Extreme caution is required in the transportation and handling of sharp-edged and other weapons.
One must ensure that, due to negligence or mistake, no Muslim is harmed.
