Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ صُهْبَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ، قَالَ نَهَى النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَنِ الْخَذْفِ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّهَا لاَ تَقْتُلُ الصَّيْدَ وَلاَ تَنْكِي الْعَدُوَّ وَلَكِنَّهَا تَفْقَأُ الْعَيْنَ وَتَكْسِرُ السِّنَّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah narrated to us: ʿUbayd ibn Saʿīd narrated to us. [Another chain:] Muḥammad ibn Bashshār narrated to us: Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar narrated to us. Both said: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from Qatādah, from ʿUqbah ibn Ṣuhbān, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Mughaffal, who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited pebble-flicking and said: It does not kill game or harm an enemy, but it pierces an eye and breaks a tooth.
