English translation
5479. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin Maghaffal that he saw a man throwing stones with two fingers (at something) and said to him, "Do not throw stones, for Allāh's Messenger ﷺ has forbidden throwing stones, or he used to dislike it." 'Abdullāh added: "Throwing stones will neither hunt a game, nor kill (or hurt) an enemy, but it may break a tooth or gouge out an eye." Afterwards 'Abdullāh once again saw the man throwing stones. He said to him, "I tell you that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ has forbidden or disliked throwing stones (in such a way), yet you are throwing stones! I shall not talk to you for such-and-such a period."
