Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب الجهادBook: On the Explanation of Jihad
بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي الْخَيْلِ وَالْمُسَابَقَةِ بَيْنَهَا ، وَالنَّفَقَةِ فِي الْغَزْوِChapter on What is Reported Regarding Horses, Racing, and Spending in Battle
Hadith 1003
وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، يَقُولُ : " لَيْسَ بِرِهَانِ الْخَيْلِ بَأْسٌ إِذَا دَخَلَ فِيهَا مُحَلِّلٌ، فَإِنْ سَبَقَ أَخَذَ السَّبْقَ، وَإِنْ سُبِقَ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ "
Yahya ibn Sa'id narrates that Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib used to say: There is nothing objectionable in setting a condition for a horse race, when a third person joins between two people; if he goes ahead, he may take the stipulated money, and if he lags behind, he does not have to give anything.
