حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ صَاعِدٍ ، نَا أَبُو الْخَطَّابِ زِيَادُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْحَسَّانِيُّ ، نَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ وَرْدَانَ ، نَا أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " سَبَّقَ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ فَجَعَلَ غَايَةَ الْمُضَمَّرَةِ مِنْ مَكَانِ كَذَا إِلَى ثَنِيَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ ، وَجَعَلَ غَايَةَ الَّتِي لَمْ تُضَمَّرْ مِنْ ثَنِيَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ " ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : فَجِئْتُ سَابِقًا فَطَفَفَتْ بِي الْمَسْجِدَ وَكَانَ قَصِيرًا.
Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) held a race between horses. He set the limit for trained horses from Hafya to Thaniyyat al-Wada', and for untrained horses, the limit was from Thaniyyat al-Wada' to the mosque of Banu Zuraiq. Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he went ahead and it was so close that his horse would have taken him over the wall of the mosque, which was very small.
