Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 27845 — Playing the game of fourteen

Abd al-Karim Abu Umayyah said that Umm Qutham said: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came in to us while we were playing the game of fourteen pieces. He asked: "What are you doing?" We said: "We are fasting, so we are amusing ourselves with it." He said: "Shall I not buy you a dirham's worth of walnuts, so that you may amuse yourselves with them and leave this?" The narrator said: He then bought us a dirham's worth of walnuts.
