'Abdullah bin Mughaffal reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) prohibited throwing of pebbles. Ibn Ja'far reported (in the narration transmitted by him) that he (the Holy Prophet) said: It neither inflicts defeat to the enemy nor kills the game but breaks the tooth and puts the eye out. This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Ibn Mahdi with a slight variation of wording.

Sa'id bin Jubair reported that a near one of 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal threw pebbles. He prohibited him (to do so). He said that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had prohibited the throwing of pebbles by saying: It does not catch the game, nor does it inflict defeat on the enemy, but breaks the tooth and puts the eye out. He (the near one of'Abdullah bin Mughadal) again repeated it (the act of throwing of pebbles) whereupon he said: I narrate to you that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon hish) disliked and prohibited throwing of pebbles, but I see you again throwing pebbles; I (would therefore) not speak with you.
