Ibn Buraida reported that Abdullah b. al-Mughaffal saw a person from amongst his companions throwing small pebbles, whereupon he said:
Don't throw pebbles. for Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) did not like it, or he forbade flinging of pebbles since neither the game is taken thereby, nor an enemy defeated. but it may break a tooth or put out an eye. He, afterwards, again saw him flinging pebbles, and said to him: I inform you that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) did not approve or he forbade flinging of pebbles, but if I see you again flinging pebbles. I will not speak with you.
