Bayhaqi 19781 — No jalab and no janab in races

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ، أنبأ أَبُو سَهْلِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ الْقَطَّانُ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ شَبِيبٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ صُدْرَانَ السُّلَمِيَّ، يَقُولُ: ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ الْمُرَائِيُّ، ثنا عَوْفٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، أَوْ خِلَاسٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - شَكَّ ابْنُ مَيْمُونٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: " يَا عَلِيُّ قَدْ جَعَلْتُ إِلَيْكَ هَذِهِ السَّبْقَةَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ "، فَخَرَجَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَدَعَا سُرَاقَةَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، فَقَالَ: يَا سُرَاقَةُ، إِنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُ إِلَيْكَ مَا جَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي عُنُقِي مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّبْقَةِ فِي عُنُقِكَ، فَإِذَا أَتَيْتَ الْمِيطَارَ - قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: وَالْمِيطَارُ مَرْسَلُهَا مِنَ الْغَايَةِ - فَصُفَّ الْخَيْلَ، ثُمَّ نَادِ: هَلْ مُصْلٍ لِلِجَامِ أَوْ حَامِلٍ لِغُلَامٍ، أَوْ ⦗٣٨⦘ طَارِحٍ لِجِلٍّ، فَإِذَا لَمْ يُجِبْكَ أَحَدٌ، فَكَبِّرْ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ خَلِّهَا عِنْدَ الثَّالِثَةِ، يُسْعِدِ اللهُ بِسَبَقِهِ مَنْ شَاءُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ، وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يَقْعُدُ عِنْدَ مُنْتَهَى الْغَايَةِ، وَيَخُطُّ خَطًّا، يُقِيمُ رَجُلَيْنِ مُتَقَابِلَيْنِ عِنْدَ طَرَفِ الْخَطِّ، طَرَفُهُ بَيْنَ إِبْهَامِ أَرْجُلِهِمَا، وَتَمُرُّ الْخَيْلُ بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ، وَيَقُولُ لَهُمَا: إِذَا أَخْرَجَ أَحَدُ الْفَرَسَيْنِ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ بِطَرَفِ أُذُنَيْهِ، أَوْ أُذُنٍ، أَوْ عِذَارٍ، فَاجْعَلُوا السَّبْقَةَ لَهُ، فَإِنْ شَكَكْتُمَا، فَاجْعَلُوا سَبْقَهُمَا نِصْفَيْنِ، فَإِذَا قَرَنْتُمُ الشَّيْئَيْنِ، فَاجْعَلُوا الْغَايَةَ مِنْ غَايَةِ أَصْغَرِ الشَّيْئَيْنِ، وَلَا جَلَبَ وَلَا جَنَبَ وَلَا شِغَارَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ "، هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ ضَعِيفٌ.
Sayyiduna al-Hasan or Khilas narrates from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) (this doubt is Ibn Maymun's) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Ali, I have entrusted to you this race among the people." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) went out, called Suraqah bin Malik and said: "O Suraqah, I place upon you the responsibility for the race that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed upon me. When you reach al-mitar (the starting point of the course), line up the horses, then call out: 'Is there anyone adjusting a bridle, or mounting a boy, or throwing off a saddle-cloth?' When no one answers you, say the takbir three times, then release them at the third; and Allah will make whomever He wills of His creation fortunate by winning it." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) would sit at the end of the course and draw a line. He would stand two men facing each other at the edge of the line, its end between their big toes, and the horses would pass between the two men. He (may Allah be pleased with him) would say to the two of them: "When one horse comes out ahead of the other by the tips of its ears, or by one ear, or by the cheek-strap, award the race to it. If you are in doubt, split the prize between them in halves. When you pair two things (in a race), set the finish at the finish of the smaller of the two. And in racing there is 'la jalab wa la janab' (no jalab and no janab), and in Islam 'la shighar fi al-Islam' (there is no exchange marriage (shighar) in Islam)."
This chain is weak.
