The reciter: Yusuf ibn Rashid narrated to us, and Waki' and Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us, and the wording is that of Yazid, from Kahmas ibn al-Hasan, from 'Abdullah ibn Buraydah, from 'Abdullah ibn Mughaffal: Sahih al-Bukhari 5479
The Shaykh : This is from the scrupulousness of the Companions and their intense reverence for the commands of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). They are not in our state today, where if I say the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited it, they say, "Is it forbidden or not forbidden?" You say the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited it, and they say, "Is it forbidden or not forbidden?" They want you to say it is not forbidden so that they can do it. But the scrupulous person, when it is said to him that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited it, the matter ends and he leaves it. If it is forbidden, he is rewarded with the reward of leaving what is forbidden, and if it is disliked, he is rewarded with the reward of leaving what is disliked. And this is 'Abdullah ibn Mughaffal, who boycotted this man for a specific period, so long and so long, when he saw him throwing pebbles after hearing the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibit it. In this is evidence that the thing whose harm is greater than its benefit, or which has no benefit, is prohibited by the Lawgiver, because this does not harm an enemy or catch game; it only pops out the eye and breaks the tooth. It is useless and dangerous in its harm. For this reason he said: "It may break a tooth and pop out an eye." Yes, indeed.
that he saw a man throwing stones with two fingers (at something) and said to him, "Do not throw stones, for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has forbidden throwing stones, or he used to dislike it." `Abdullah added: Throwing stones will neither hunt the game, nor kill (or hurt) an enemy, but it may break a tooth or gouge out an eye." Afterwards `Abdullah once again saw the man throwing stones. He said to him, "I tell you that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has forbidden or disliked the throwing the stones (in such a way), yet you are throwing stones! I shall not talk to you for such-and-such a period."
أنه رأى رجلاً يخذف فقال له لا تخذف فإن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم نهى عن الخذف أو كان يكره الخذف وقال : إنه لا يصاد به صيد ولا ينكى به عدو ولكنها قد تكسر السن وتفقأ العين ثم رآه بعد ذلك يخذف فقال له أحدثك عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه نهى عن الخذف أو كره الخذف وأنت تخذف لا أكلمك كذا وكذاThe Shaykh : This is from the scrupulousness of the Companions and their intense reverence for the commands of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
