The incident took place in the Bismillah Mini Mart in Upper Woodlands Road, just of Toller Lane, Bradford after an argument broke out in the store between his wife and Mr Saleem.
Mr Saleem’s relatives had taken it badly when Parvez’s wife married him for love instead of choosing the bridegroom they had lined up for her.
Parvez’s wife had an angry confrontation with him in the store, Mrs Parvez slapped Mr Saleem across the face for which she was later cautioned by the police.
Parvez feared trouble and foolishly took the hammer from his car. Parvez got the hammer from his car and took it into the mini mart.
He was swearing and he shouted at Mr Saleem: “I will kill you; you don’t know me, I will kill you.”
Parvez beckoned Mr Saleem outside but he pulled out his phone to call the police.
At this point, Parvez took the hammer from behind his back and attacked Mr Saleem.
He went for his head but the weapon struck his left arm when he put it up to defend himself.
Parvez then threw several punches at Mr Saleem who snatched the hammer from him in the struggle.
Parvez and his wife then left the scene.
Parvez’ marriage was very successful and he was a model father to his three children. Parvez blamed members of his wife's extended family for abducting, imprisoning and beating him more than ten years ago, leaving him with injuries that laid him up for six months.
The family feud had died down a bit in recent years but it flared up again in a row over dowries and family gold.
Parvez was found guilty and was jailed for six years at Bradford crown court.
