Musnad Ahmad 10557 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ , أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ , عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ , عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ , عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " مَنْ أَدْخَلَ فَرَسًا بَيْنَ فَرَسَيْنِ ، وَهُوَ لَا يَأْمَنُ أَنْ يَسْبِقَ ، فَلَا بَأْسَ بِهِ , وَمَنْ أَدْخَلَ فَرَسًا بَيْنَ فَرَسَيْنِ , قَدْ أَمِنَ أَنْ يَسْبِقَ , فَهُوَ قِمَارٌ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever includes a horse between two horses in a race, about which it is not certain that it will advance, then there is no harm in it. But whoever includes such a horse about which it is certain that it will advance (and win), then this is gambling.
