بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي النَّرْدِWhat is Reported Regarding Backgammon
Hadith 1749B1
قَالَ يَحْيَى : وَسَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا، يَقُولُ : لَا خَيْرَ فِي الشَّطْرَنْجِ وَكَرِهَهَا، وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَكْرَهُ اللَّعِبَ بِهَا وَبِغَيْرِهَا مِنَ الْبَاطِلِ، وَيَتْلُو هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ : فَمَاذَا بَعْدَ الْحَقِّ إِلا الضَّلالُ سورة يونس آية 32
Yahya said: I heard from Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him: Playing chess is not good, there is no benefit or goodness in it, and he considered it disliked. And I heard from Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him: He used to say: Playing chess and all frivolous, useless games are disliked, and he used to recite this verse «﴿فَمَاذَا بَعْدَ الْحَقِّ إِلَّا الضَّلَالُ﴾ [يونس : 32]» "So what is there after the truth except misguidance?"
