حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِذَا مَرَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي مَسْجِدِنَا أَوْ فِي سُوقِنَا وَمَعَهُ نَبْلٌ فَلْيُمْسِكْ عَلَى نِصَالِهَا ـ أَوْ قَالَ فَلْيَقْبِضْ بِكَفِّهِ ـ أَنْ يُصِيبَ أَحَدًا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنْهَا شَىْءٌ ".
Abu Musa Narrated from:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If anyone of you passed through our mosque or through our market while carrying arrows, he should hold the iron heads," or said, "..... he should hold (their heads) firmly with his hand lest he should injure one of the Muslims with it."

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 7075
This hadith about carrying arrows safely gives a wider public safety rule. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said that if someone passes through the mosque or market while carrying arrows, he should hold the iron heads firmly with his hand. The reason is clear: so that nothing from them injures any Muslim. The mosque and market are both places where people gather. The hadith shows that Islamic manners include being careful with objects that may harm others. It is not enough to say, “I did not mean it.” A Muslim should carry things safely before harm happens. This is a simple but strong lesson in responsibility.
What we learn from this hadith
- Carry dangerous objects with firm control.
- Think about safety in crowded places like mosques and markets.
- Avoid accidental harm to Muslims.
- Good manners include careful handling of sharp items.
