2160. ‘Abdullāh bin As-Sā’ib bin Yazīd narrated from his father, from his grandfather who said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Let one of you not take his brothers staff, neither in play nor seriousness. Whoever took his brother’s staff,[1] then let him return it to him.”’ (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[1] “His brother’s belongings...” as is in the report in Abū Dāwūd. “He only cited the staff as an example because it is of the trivial things not considered so important by it’s owner, so that it is known that greater care must be taken concerning what is of importance (to it’s owner).” Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Umar, Sulaimān bin Ṣurad, Ja'dah, and Abū Hurairah.
This Hadīth is Ḥasan Gharīb, we do not know of it except as a narration of Ibn Abī Dhi'b. As-Sā'ib bin Yazīd was a Companion, he heard Aḥādīth from the Prophet ﷺ when he was a boy. The Prophet ﷺ died when As-Sā'ib was seven years old. Yazīd bin As-Sā'ib, his father, was one of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, and he reported from the Prophet ﷺ. [As-Sā'ib bin Yazīd is the son of Namir's sister].

Commentary
Not to speak of taking hold of more valuable or substantial things of others for purposes of terrorizing them, Islam does not even allow a Muslim to take in his hand the wooden staff of his brother.
