It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me on the morning of Muzdalifah: Come here, pick up pebbles for me. So I brought for him small pebbles (the size of chickpeas or beans), and he took them in his hand and said: Yes! Pebbles should be exactly like this. Beware of exceeding the limits in religion, for those before you were destroyed because of exaggeration in religion.
