2589 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا قُرَيْشُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَشْعَثُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى أَنْ يُقَدَّ السَّيْرُ بَيْنَ إِصْبَعَيْنِ»

Commentary
This method of cutting something is fraught with the risk of injuring the cutter's hand in the process. The leather must be put on a piece of stone or wood for cutting. So it resembles, in its meaning, his prohibition of handing someone an unsheathed sword.
