Commentary
1. Although in the act of poking with a stick, there is possibility of severity and softness, still one could avenge oneself. This difference is ignorable.
2. 'Ask for retaliation': Though Allâh's Messenger's ﷺ poking him with a stick was disciplinary, the man had shown hastiness and impatience and created disorder. But it is possible he was suprised.
