[Machine] The companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ told us that they used to travel with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey. One of them fell asleep and some of them went ahead to a water source with him and took it. When the man woke up, he was startled and the people laughed. He asked them, "What makes you laugh?" They said, "Nothing, except that we took this water source." He felt frightened and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A Muslim should not scare another Muslim."  

أحمد:٢٣٠٦٤ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى قَالَ

حَدَّثَنَا أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَسِيرُونَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي مَسِيرٍ فَنَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ فَانْطَلَقَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى نَبْلٍ مَعَهُ فَأَخَذَهَا فَلَمَّا اسْتَيْقَظَ الرَّجُلُ فَزِعَ فَضَحِكَ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ مَا يُضْحِكُكُمْ؟ فَقَالُوا لَا إِلَّا أَنَّا أَخَذْنَا نَبْلَ هَذَا فَفَزِعَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يُرَوِّعَ مُسْلِمًا
