a daily deduction of two Qirat from his good deeds."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 72, Hadith 6
← Previous Hadith
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."
