Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 7936 — the Prophet ﷺ held a horse race, fixed
وَبِهِ : عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَابَقَ بِالْخَيْلِ ، وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَهُمَا سَبْقًا ، وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا مُجَلَّلًا ، وَقَالَ : لَا سَبَقَ إِلَّا فِي حَافِرٍ ، أَوْ نَصْلٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) held a horse race, fixed a prize between them, and also put among them a muhallil (a third horse by which the contest becomes permissible). And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A prize contest is permissible only in (racing) hoofed animals (horses and the like) and in (shooting) arrows."
