باب النَّهْيِ عَنِ الإِشَارَةِ بِالسِّلاَحِ إِلَى مُسْلِمٍ:Chapter: The Prohibition Of Pointing At A Muslim With A Weapon
حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ، قَالَ عَمْرٌو حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ أَشَارَ إِلَى أَخِيهِ بِحَدِيدَةٍ ، فَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَلْعَنُهُ حَتَّى يَدَعَهُ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ أَخَاهُ لِأَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ " .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: Abu'l-Qasim (the kunya of Allah's Messenger, may peace be upon him), said: He who pointed a weapon towards his brother the angels invoke curse upon him even if he is his real brother so long as he does not abandon it (the pointing of weapon towards one's brother Muslim).

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: From this hadith, it is understood that to point a weapon at one’s brother, whether to frighten him or merely in jest to disturb him, is a cause for the angels’ curse. This proves that to trouble a Muslim brother, to cause him distress, is not the way of Muslims. Because sometimes a weapon, even unintentionally, can become a cause of harm, therefore, in order to prevent this, the Shariah has declared even gesturing with it to be a crime. And today, instead of mere gestures, Muslims are targeting other Muslims with weapons.
