Sunan Ibn Majah 17
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، وَأَبُو عُمَرَ حَفْصُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ جَالِسًا إِلَى جَنْبِهِ ابْنُ أَخٍ لَهُ فَخَذَفَ فَنَهَاهُ وَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ نَهَى عَنْهَا وَقَالَ " إِنَّهَا لاَ تَصِيدُ صَيْدًا وَلاَ تَنْكِي عَدُوًّا وَإِنَّهَا تَكْسِرُ السِّنَّ وَتَفْقَأُ الْعَيْنَ " . قَالَ فَعَادَ ابْنُ أَخِيهِ يَخْذِفُ فَقَالَ أُحَدِّثُكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ نَهَى عَنْهَا ثُمَّ عُدْتَ تَخْذِفُ لاَ أُكَلِّمُكَ أَبَدًا .

Ahmad ibn Thabit al-Jahdari and Abu Umar Hafs ibn Amr both narrated to us: Abd al-Wahhab al-Thaqafi narrated to us: Ayyub narrated to us, from Said ibn Jubayr, from Abdullah ibn Mughaffal: His brothers son was sitting beside him and flicked a pebble. He forbade him and said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade this and said: It does not catch game or injure an enemy, but it breaks teeth and puts out eyes. The nephew did it again, so he said: I tell you that the Messenger of Allah forbade this, and then you do it again? I will never speak to you again.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic identifies the offender as Abdullah ibn Mughaffals brothers son (his nephew) and uses khadhf for flicking or shooting small stones. The Prophetic wording says they do not catch game or injure an enemy but can break teeth and put out eyes.
