Sahih Muslim Book - 45, Hadith - 6664

حَدَّثَنَا هَدَّابُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ: إِذَا مَرَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي مَجْلِسٍ ، أَوْ سُوقٍ ، وَبِيَدِهِ نَبْلٌ ، فَلْيَأْخُذْ بِنِصَالِهَا ، ثُمَّ لِيَأْخُذْ بِنِصَالِهَا ، ثُمَّ لِيَأْخُذْ بِنِصَالِهَا. قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى: وَاللَّهِ مَا مُتْنَا حَتَّى سَدَّدْنَاهَا بَعْضُنَا فِي وُجُوهِ بَعْضٍ.

It was narrated from Abu Musa that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "If one of you passes through a place of gathering or market with an arrow in his hand, let him hold it by its point, then let him hold it by its point, then let him hold it by its point." Abu Musa said: "By Allah, we were not doomed until we started to point arrows at one another's faces."
