Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَجُلًا يَخْذِفُ فَقَالَ: لَا تَخْذِفْ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنِ الْخَذْفِ وَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ لَا يُصَادُ بِهِ صَيْدٌ وَلَا يُنْكَأُ بِهِ عَدُوٌّ وَلَكِنَّهَا قَدْ تَكْسِرُ السِّنَّ وَتَفْقَأُ الْعَيْنَ»

Translation

Abdullah ibn Mughaffal reported that he saw a man flicking pebbles and said to him: ‘Do not flick pebbles, for the Messenger of God forbade it. He said that it catches no game and wounds no enemy, but may break a tooth or put out an eye.’
