357 - Chapter on the prohibition of brandishing a weapon or the like before a Muslim, whether seriously or jokingly; and the prohibition of handing over an unsheathed sword

1783/1 - Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “None of you should point towards his fellow Muslim with a weapon, for he does not know that Satan may tempt him to hit him and thus he would fall into a pit of fire (Hell).” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]

Another narration by Muslim reads: “Abu al-Qāsim (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Whoever points a weapon towards his fellow Muslim, the angels will curse him until he stops that, even if he is his full brother.’”
