Is touching pebbles specific to the Friday prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh says: Touching pebbles is mentioned in the hadith
and he who touched pebblesومن مس الحصى فقد
Sahih Muslim 857b
, and whoever does so has no Friday prayer. Is touching pebbles not specific to the Friday prayer?

Answer:
No, it applies to all prayers. That is why they said one should not smooth the earth if he intends to prostrate on it, unless there is something in it that would hurt him, such as thorns or pebbles. Yes.
