Explanation

Whoever passes through mosques, markets, and places where Muslims gather while he has a weapon with him, such as arrows or the like, he should hold it by its head well, in a firm grip, lest it injures any of the Muslims.

Explanation in Arabic

من مر في المساجد والأسواق وأماكن اجتماع المسلمين ومعه سلاح من نبل وغيره، فإنه يمسك به ويحكم قبضته عليه جيدا؛ لئلا يصيب به أحدا من المسلمين.

  • رحمة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بالمسلمين وشفقته عليهم.
  • حرص الإسلام على أمن المسلم وعدم أذيته، ولو بجُرح يسير؛ تعظيما لحرمته؛ وإعلاء لمنزلته.
  • أدب حمل السلاح في الإسلام.
  • جواز حمل السلاح في المسجد أو السوق ما لم يترتب على حمله مضرة.
