Mishkat al-Masabih #3384
Retaliation
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُتَعَاطَى السَّيْفُ مَسْلُولًا. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَأَبُو دَاوُد
Jabir said God’s Messenger forbade that a sword which has been drawn should be handed to anyone.
Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud transmitted it.
