Sahih al-Bukhari 451
Narrated `Amr:
I heard Jabir bin `Abdullah saying, “A man passed through the mosque carrying arrows. Allah’s
Apostle said to him, ‘Hold them by their heads.’ “
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَمْرٍو أَسَمِعْتَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ مَرَّ رَجُلٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَمَعَهُ سِهَامٌ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” أَمْسِكْ بِنِصَالِهَا ”.
